Actually, a "generic client" package is in the works.  Meaning you'll
have a set of diskettes with everybody's requesters on them.  You
stuff in the diskettes, and you are prompted to install "Novell,
Banyan, LAN Man, ..." -- and you can install one or more (to coexist,
even).

That isn't built-in peer-to-peer, though.  We'll see how that evolves.
