Yep. File manager works fine; most everything does.

The only problem is that we assign network drives sparsely, and WIN
complains about not being able to access the drives in the holes (e.g.
we use J,K,T; WIN can't access L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S, and I think V).  There
is probably some way to fix this.

Also, this was installed on the system while the PC-NFS was inactive;
in fact while OS/2 was running. Windows noticed the network when it
came up, though.

In fact it works fine in all 3  modes (OS2 DOS box, local, and PC-NFS.)
It even understand OS/2 HPFS partitions.  Windows says it can't run DOS
applications under OS/2, if you see what I mean. (My head hurts.) It
also runs fine in an OS/2 2.0 full-screen DOS window ...

Of course, if only I had PC-NFS under OS/2 none of this would be
necessary. Works OK though.
