  37. NTS/2 (or LAPS) provides the interface for applications for a network card.                                                                           
  38. If you use LAN Requester, or ES,or OS/2 TCP/IP, they must ride on top of NTS/2.                                                                       
  39. NTS/2 provides the 802.2 and Netbios interface for applications to use.                                                                               
  40.                                                                                                                                                       
  41. The beta NTS/2 is not free, you can get a copy by calling 1-800-IBM-3040.                                                                             
  42. I got it along with the LAN Server 3.0 Beta, and the cost was about $150.                                                                             
  43. I am not sure if you can get only NTS/2 for a consdierably cheaper price?
