I'm trying to discern if it was it's own independent OS, or if it was
more a package of a COTS OS (OS/2) and LAN Man package, like Back Office
/ Small Business Server are Windows <version> Server OS and packages.
I believe that "OS/2 LAN Server" was part of "OS/2 1.3 Extended
Edition".
Extended Edition also included
some kind of SNA gateway, iirc, and probably other things I have zero
recollection of. The product had a
notion of "domains" at this point, although I don't know if this was a new
feature introduced with the OS/2
version or if previous products already had it.
