You really want to do it the hard way dont you.....;-) OS/2 Warp Connect does
not come with any Lantastic support at all. There WAS a Lantastic for OS/2
many years ago, but I think it died a slow death and you may be pushed to find 
anything still around for it now.

Your "best" option at this point seems to be to go to the MS Web site and see
if they still have the DOS Requestor package still available and use that. It
was a free-bee that allowed DOS machines to connect to a Windows Netbios
environment, but because the Windows environment is an SMB environment, just
about any SMB environmentt can inter-connect using the Dos Requestor package.
SMB environments include OS/2 Peer, *nix SAMBA, etc, so you should be able to
get something working.

I hope this helps.........pk.
