We had the same error message when trying to upgrade our 3+Open server
from OS/2 1.1 to OS/2 1.2.  The answer we got from both Microsoft and
3COM, was

	Only Lan Mgr 2.0 will work with OS/2 1.2, and OS/2 1.2 is
	required for Lan Mgr 2.0

Lan Mgr 2.0 was just released last month.  I don't think 3COM has
released their version yet, but the Microsoft version is available
through their authorized Network Specialists, which are approved
retailers.

(Unfortunately for us, no-one around here has yet been authorized, so
we're still waiting, but that's another story :-()
