I understand how you could get that misperception...but in fact you are
installing MPTS, which offers (as the name suggests) multiple protocols,
including several that have nothing whatsoever to do with the Netware
requester. IBM OS/2 NETBIOS is one of those. It is there to support IBM Peer
Services, =not= the Netware Requester.

Understood...and also not available for OS/2...so, no confusion here. The only
references I've been making to "peer" are IBM's.
