Actually LAPS has become NAPS (Network Adapter Protocol Services) and is 
installed along with MPTS, but not replaced by it.  For some strange reason, 
if you do not select any of the IBM network client software offerings during 
installation, you still get NAPS (but not MPTS) installed and an NDIS driver 
and one IBM protocol (IIRC, IEEE 802.2) loaded for your NIC.  Ran into this 
installing for a buddy who wanted to use Lantastic/2 to peer with the DOS 
nodes he had already running.
You'll notice that various dialogue boxes will still refer the longhand 
version of LAPS in places rather than NAPS, so a little more search-n-replace 
is order before it disappears completely.  MPTS is basically a front-end to 
NAPS/LAPS. Maybe it actually helps keep LAPS straight when multiple protocols 
are selected?  Never had any luck with multi-protocol stacks when LAPS was 
all there was, so I can't definitively say. ;)
