It should be, unless it is ISA based :-(; considering the number
of nodes, I think 20+ MB of RAM qould be more adequate.

Lan Manager runs only under OS/2 1.3, but you can adopt IBM Lan Server 3.0
which is Lan Manager compatible (i.e.: LM requester can ask services to
LS ; conversely LS requesters can ask services to LM servers, and you can
mix both environments on the same LAN): so you don't need LM at all.
