I have just been to a DECUS Symposium here in Australia.  Paul
Houle (a DEC (U.S.) developer of device drivers for PCSA for
OS/2) spoke about this.  He said NO!  PCSA comes with Lan Manager
1.0, which requires OS/2 1.1 ONLY.  MS-OS/2 1.21 (i.e. the next
release which IBM will hopefully have as well) will use Lan
Manager 2.0, which PCSA for OS/2 1.0 does NOT run under.  A new
version of LanWorks for OS/2 (server and client) will be out as
soon as possible which will work under LanMan 2.0, but note he
said DEC only received it from Microsoft about two weeks ago.

Since I am a cynical and untrustworthy bastard I will try it
anyway with OS/2 1.2 (I have only 1.0 and 1.2, so have no
choice).  I received PCSA for OS/2 only a couple of days ago,
so watch the net for further reports.
