It is a 3-user license of LAN Manager/X and is called Trial Size LMX.  You
do get DOS clients with the server.  When you purchase the computer
(actually I believe it is with the O/S) you would get a postcard to send in
to here at HP's Colorado Networks Division and a kit containing the server
software on tape along with the client is dropped into the mail for you.
With the 8.0 release, the LMX server software should be on the release tape.
However, the client would still have to be shipped separately from here.
There is presently no ending date for this promotion.

So send in those cards and letters...
