  Ok.  The SDK is no longer shipped from microsoft for the 1.0 or 1.1
products.  The lan manager product itself can be had from any OEM of
lan manager.  There are several offering special "lan starter kits" to
developers.  These include three or four network cards, associated hardware
and software to network them together, and I've seen prices from $600 to
$900 for the package.  (Includes the latest version of lan manager, all of
the files you need for development, and the documentation as well)

  I've given the prices as ballpark figures.  What you should do is call the
manufacturer of your network hardware & ask them directly what lan manager
costs, and what that includes.  Each OEM has the ability to add value to 
the lan manager package, and each has specific features that you might
find useful.  We don't keep track of current price or packaging that the
OEMs have available.  

  SQL server is a retail product, marketed by Ashton Tate. It's available
from any large software house & many smaller ones.  Call your local retailer
and see if they can get it for you if they don't stock it.  I don't know 
of any dealers in Singapore.  

  Companies that have offered starter kits in the past:  
  Cogent, (206) 453-5799, Contact is Dave Melin
  3Com Corp, Santa Clara, CA
