I found a nice web page documenting WfW3.11 network features:

https://casadevall.pro/articles/2020/05/exploring-windows-for-workgroups-3.11-early-90s-networking/

or https://shorturl.at/ovNZ6 if you prefer.

Back in 1994, I worked in a software shop. We ran BSD servers, POP3 mail
service and used Eudora for email. We ran Novell servers for file and
print sharing.

I had a tech support team who had their own workgroup server and were
all running WfW 3.11, we needed the built-in networking stack. What I
didn't realize until I visited with them one day was that they had
turned on every feature in WfW, and it was pretty impressive. They had a
shared calendar, their own Microsoft mail post-office for
inter-department mail, file and print sharing and messaging set up.

It was a very impressive show, especially since it was all included in
the price of the desktop PCs.
