I agree that this is an issue.  I'd like to think that IBM and MS have gotten  
the base LAN code to a stable enough point that LS 2.0 and LS 1.2 servers can  
work together in one domain, but I guess we won't know for sure until some  
announcements are made.  I have no inside information on this, but I'll  
certainly pass it along if I ever do.

One possibility:  Cumulus is now selling an 80386sx board that plugs into an  
80286 socket.  I wonder how well OS/2 2.0 and LS 2.0 will work in that  
environment.
