I checked, V3 wants 386 or higher....  ok, I have a box for that.

I do have win 3.0 and 3.1 with 286 support in hand those I have lanman
and windows networking support.

FYI: the NT4 Server disks have client drivers and networking support for
DOS, WIN3.x, OS/2 and w9x.  Lanman and TCP/ip.

Disk is not problem as I have a 120 mb drive, enough for this use.

...
 I'm not sure, but I suspect that getting any kind
of networking for
OS/2 V1.3 is going to be difficult.  IIRC, it doesn't come with networking 

No plan to run OS/2-v1.3 don't have it either.

...
 Warp 3 was the last version I ran, and I don't
remember it having any
networking software either. 

It does if you have the bonus pak.  I also have the NT4 clients kit for OS/2
V3.

I'd still like to bump it up to 2MB if possible.
