I thought the people on LANMAN-L might be interested in this.

Yea, I'm currently doing this.  It's neat and costs about 10 to 13 dB less
than Novell's product.  It took a lot of fiddling around to discover the
correct pieces to keep but this is the general approach that ended up
working.
 
1) Install LanMan and MS OS/2 1.3.
2) Comment out the LanMan related stuff in the CONFIG.SYS file
3) Install IBM TCP/IP.
4) Uncomment just the server, workstation, and other protocol statements
   in the CONFIG.SYS file.  Be sure to keep the IBM NDIS stuff instead of
   the Microsoft NDIS stuff.
5) "Merge" the IBM TCP/IP and LanMan PROTOCOL.INI files.
6) In STARTUP.CMD I start the LanMan stuff before the TCP/IP stuff.
 
I know this is a little general, especially the part about merging the
PROTOCOL.INI files.  If anyone is interested I'd be happy to send along
or post my CONFIG.SYS and PROTOCOL.INI files.  So far almost everything
has been real stable and worked real well.  Our LanMan server now supports
ftp access and acts as an NFS server for our Suns.  The one piece I
haven't gotten working yet is LPD.
 
I archive LanMan related utilities and documents on the LanMan server,
"lanman.gatech.edu".  The programmers libraries are there as well as a
number of issues of Microsoft NetNews.  I'd be interested in more LanMan
related utilities.  Contibutions can be put in the UPLOADS section.
