SUMMARY

IBM OS/2 2.0 or 2.1 workstations with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2a or 2.2b client software installed can connect to Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, LAN Manager server, and Windows NT Advanced Server and can access resources such as disks, printers, devices and so on. However, while a typical workgroup can share resources in either direction, peer workstation support is not available on an IBM OS/2 worksation: resources that reside on it cannot be shared with other workstations.
