IBM has committed to MS LAN Manager compatibility, and I have some
info on Lan Man 2.00 here, so I'll assume it applies to Lan Server
2.00 as well.

I quote from the MS press release:

"On a 386- or 486-based server, LAN Manager 2.00 automatically
 installs a 386-optimized network I/O subsystem and a 386-specific
 version of HPFS (HPFS-386). "
 
This implies that it supports things other than the 386/486 -- ie:
286.

I'll include the full press release in the next message.  (Does this
bug anyone?  I'm not associated with MS,  but find the PRs very
valuable.  I had one guy in the C_ECHO flame at me for posting the
PR for QuickC 2.00,  claiming that MS didn't need any free
advertising.).
