- Actually, there are at least *3* Mosaic licensees who will be coming-out with
- commercial products. One of them is Quarterdeck, which might be a good bet
- because of their X-Term experience. I don't recall who the third is. I beleive
- this was reported in a recent PC Week.

- Subject: SMB over TCP/IP
-
- The key to this is getting NetBIOS support for your stack. If the stack
- is by Wollongong, FTP, Novell or any other that uses a DOS TSR to
- emulate the RFC1001/1002 NetBIOS layer, then it will allow the WFW SMB
- requester to sit on top of it (in theory !).
-
- The TCP/IP NetBIOS will act as NetBIOS LANA 0. Therefore you will need
- to modify your SYSTEM.INI's [386Enh] to have:
-
- V86ModeLANAs=0 this states that LANA 0 is a TSR
-
- Ensure that WFW's NetBEUI is at LANA1 (protocol.ini, etc).
-
- This certainly used to work with WFW v3.1, the principles should hold
- true for v3.11.
-
- If the stack you're using has no NetBIOS support, then it won't support
- SMBs.
-
- Cheers ... Chris
