Script error: No such module "Unsubst".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". IBM LAN Server is a discontinued network operating system introduced by International Business Machines (IBM) in 1988. LAN Server started as a close cousin of Microsoft's LAN Manager and first shipped in early 1988. It was originally designed to run on top of Operating System/2 (OS/2) Extended Edition.[1] The network client was called IBM LAN Requester and was included with OS/2 EE 1.1 by default.[2] (Eventually IBM shipped other clients and supported yet more. Examples include the IBM OS/2 File/Print Client, IBM OS/2 Peer, and client software for Microsoft Windows.[3]) Here the short term LAN Server refers to the IBM OS/2 LAN Server product. There were also LAN Server products for other operating systems, notably AIX[4]—now called Fast Connect[5]—and OS/400.[6]

Version history

Version
no.		 Year Notes
1.0 1988 for OS/2 EE 1.0[1]
1.2 1990 for OS/2 EE 1.2[7]
1.3 1991 for OS/2 EE 1.3[8]
2.0 1992 related to LAN Manager 2.0[9]
