[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] LM/X for MicroSoft Lan Manager

yozzo@arnor.UUCP (Ralph Yozzo) (07/28/89)

I've recently read a book called "Unix Networking
by Hayden Books

 One article is by Martin R.M, Dunsmuir
 of Xenix Development of Microsoft
 and he speaks of LM/X which is 
 a TCP/IP implementation for OS/2.
  
  He advertises that an OS/2 machine can 
  use a Unix machine as a host or file server.
   
   I was wondering if anyone has any information
   or experience with this product?

As far as I know, it isn't out yet.  It's a Unix-based implementation
of the OS/2 LAN Manager, developed by HP and Microsoft.  HP has demoed
early versions of it at several shows, beginning at Interop last
September.  Interop this year is a good bet to see it, I would think.
