A couple of years ago someone posted that they reverse engineered DEC's
Pathworks and after doing it they discovered they reverse-eng'd Netbios.
They verified it against the netbios specs and it was true...

I'm looking for something like netbios so I can use TCP/IP with netbios on
the DOS boxes (now running a mix of Netware Lite, DVX, PC/TCP, ) 
and still acess the Linux machine I've got news on.

I'd love one unified network here.
