I am hoping someone @microsoft will see and respond to this but amybe
someone else knows things about this.

a) we are an OS/2 Lan Manager reseller/whatever

b) we currently use our own home brew LAN which has a very nice feature.
   it allows what we call hierarchical networks.  Ie lan A has a "server"
   and a workstation on lan A which just happens to be the "server" for
   lan B.  So the lan B server actually does the equivalent of net use's
   from the lan A server and then provides them as drives to users on the
   lan B network.

BIG PROBLEM.  This doesn't work under Lan Manager.  So you also can't do things
like have your server bring in a bunch of DECnet or NFS drives and share
them with all your users.

Any luck in this changing?
