  I set this up and I'm having a problem, as LAN Manager (or at least DEC's
Pathworks) expects to see a directory services server listening for broad-
casts on port 137. I suspect that this code only works if there are one or
more "real" TCP LANman hosts on the local network. I suppose I'll have to
write a directory services server (or enough of one to fake out Pathworks).
If anybody else has done this already, please send me mail and let me know.
