- Really the only thing necessary to run LanMan over the Lantastic ARCnet
- cards would be an NDIS driver. My guess would be, however, that the
- chances of that would be slim. I don't see any incentive for Artisoft
- to do it.

- For some reason I have it in my head that Lantastic drivers talk to a
- NetBIOS stack. If that is indeed the case and if Lantastic comes up
- with a version for OS/2 (the LanMan server is OS/2 based) then there
- might be a prayer to make it work.
