It's a protocol. not an API... it's a transport *under* the
NetBIOS insteface.
There are 160 seperate uses of NetBEUI on www.ibm.com ...but none
of them say what it stands for.
There are 634 sperate places on www.microsoft.com... none of which
define it. 8-).
So I don't know if you have the acronym right -- I really don't
remember what it really means! 8-).
