OS/2 was supposed to be the next DOS, a protected mode DOS (It was supposed to be called CP/DOS).
OS/2 1.0 had no network support at all, 1.1 which IBM didn't sell outside its own client base had SNA support for connecting to IBM Mainframes. OS/2 1.2 was the first to have a networking engine supporting TCP/IP and IPX/SPX.
The first OS/2 that the general audience could buy with network support was OS/2 2.0 after the break-up with Microsoft.
NT 3.1 inherited the OS/2 1.2 LAN Manager networking engine, coupled with the improved BSD TCP/IP Unix stack.
