Subject: Novice wants to install a LAN

Hi. I am fairly new to LANs, (but experienced in programming and a happy
OS/2 user), and I would like to connect my OS/2 as a server, a vintage
IBM-PC, and a 8088 laptop in a small network so they could share the printer
and the hard disk. I have OS/2 1.2EE, but don't know which hardware it
supports. I see Ethernet (10MB) cards for fairly cheap. Can I connect
those to the OS/2 server and MS-DOS client machines? Would it work?
Performance is not a great issue since the load will be really light,
but I would like to minimize my cost. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!  -turgut
