I just started installing IBM LAN Server 3.0 last night.  From the
documentation it appears that peer services are quite independent
from LAN Server.  Specifically, it is mentioned that peer resources
may be shared even when the LAN Server is down.

This makes me think that peer services could be used alone.  Although
they aren't very powerful, for networking two PC's the one user limit
for sharing would not be a problem.

I realize the idea of buying LAN Server 3.0 just for peer services
is a bit whacky, but it seems that if this configuration is possible/
usable, IBM should offer peer services as a separate product.
