Description

The name LAN Manager was used both for a network layer that was sold as an add on for OS/2 versions 1.x (and could run on later versions) and Unix systems and also a Network Operating System that combined a Microsioft's or IBM' version of OS/2 server or Hewlett Packard's HP-UX and the LAN Manager add on.

Actually the primary developer of the LAN Manager product was 3Com and it was based on a NOS that they had sold under the name 3+Share that used a modified version of DOS called MS-Net as their basis. 3Com originally released the product in 1988 as 3+Open LAN Manager with server support for OS/2 and client support for OS/2 and DOS with Apple Macintosh support added a little later, the company licensed the product soon thereafter to Microsoft and then it was known initially as 3Com/Microsoft LAN Manager but later as just LAN Manager or LAN Manager/X for the Unix versions with the name of the OEM (HP, IBM, MS et al) in front although 3Com continued to offer the product under the 3+Open name. 3Com lost interest in the product and by 1991 had sold their codebase to Microsoft who integrated the product into Windows NT Server.
