But it can be used indirectly, even if you don't use the IPCS as a LAN
server.

I have the old 486-based FSIOP in my system, not the IPCS or whatever
they call the new one (hard to keep up on the name!).  But starting
with V3R7 there is a no-charge option 57xxSA2 called Integration
Services for FSIOP.  I presume it also works with the IPCS, or that
there is another similar option.

The Integration Services allows me to use the FSIOP's LAN adapter even
though I don't run LAN Server or any other extra cost software on the
FSIOP.  Maybe that's no longer a viable option with the IPCS.

There is a separate manual with the steps for activating the LAN
adapter when using the FSIOP in this manner.  It is SC41-3123-03,
Integration Services for File Server I/O Processor.
