MIT does not have a site license for LAN Manager. MIT does have a 1000 user 
license for LAN WorkPlace for OS/2. This is a very different product and I 
do not recommend that you use it at this time.

People could make a more informed reponse to your question if you explained 
more about how you want to use the network for your group. Are you looking 
for a peer to peer or client server approach? Do you have a clear idea of 
what applications you wish to run? Are the CAO summit applications 
important to your group? Are you looking for Internet access?
