       Does anyone out there have any experience with 
sophisticated (ie. script language) terminal emulation packages 
for MS-DOS that use the RFC 1001, 1002 compliant NetBIOS over 
TCP/IP?  Specifically, we have:

       TRW PC2001 cards in PC/AT clones 
       MS-DOS 3.1+
       TRW supplied FTP TCP/IP & NetBIOS
       Locus SMB & MS-NET Redirector

accessing:

       AT&T 3B2 
       UNIX V 3.2
       AT&T Ethernet card
       Wollengong TCP/IP
       Locus SMB server

       I have tried the SoftermPC product which claims NetBIOS 
compatibility, only to find they do not support the RFC compliant 
NetBIOS.  Nor does any other company that I have been able to 
contact.

       Yes I know about Telnet, but some of my users don't like 
it, and trying to figure out how to redo the keymapping for the 
FTP TNVT program is impossible.  (HEX coded pointers to 
undisclosed keymap tables!)

       Thanks.
