LAN Manager
The LAN Manager was an advanced Network Operating System (NOS) from Microsoft developed in cooperation with 3com. It is based on the Operating System/2 (OS/2) and NetBEUI protocol similar to its predecessors MS-NET for MS-DOS and Xenix-NET for MS-Xenix. There was also LAN Manager/X (LMX) for UNIX based systems.
In 1990 Microsoft announced LAN Manager 2.0 with a lot of improvements. The latest version LAN Manager 2.2 which included an MS-OS/2 1.31 base operating system remained to be Microsoft's strategic server system until the release of Windows NT Advanced Server in early 1994. Many vendors shipped licensed versions: 3com HP LAN Manager/X IBM LAN Server Tapestry Torus
