IIRC, the mid-80's IBM's PC Lan and MS's

I just wanted to know this before I dug out the WFWG 3.11 diskette set--I
know that it has MS LAN on it.
Windows itself (3.10 and above) demands at least 286
(3.00 WILL run on 8088)
DOS 3.10 added some network hooks, do PCLAN and MS LAN manager need more
than 8088?
The earliest machine I have seen running Lan Manager was an 80186
which was also running Windows 3.0.
