What's the word on interoperability between HP-LM/X, SCO-LM/X, and Microsoft
LAN Manager (1.1 & 2.0)?  In particular, what will be the deal with protocol
support?  3Com's NBP protocol easily allows for 521K of available memory on
DOS workstations, so it would be nice to someday see something along the lines
of an NBP protocol in LM/X.  With 3Com's recent change in direction I don't 
know if this will ever be available now.
