I don't know.  On the one hand, none of my clients using NetWare use it on the
IPCS.  On the other, I always thought that it sounded like a cool option that
further distanced the AS/400 from the "proprietary" label.  I'd think that IBM
would have a vested interest in providing at least tertiary support for
something that "isn't Micro$oft".  Can't be good news for the future of OS/2,
either...
