Yes, OS/2 Extended Editions provide a netbios API, I believe through the 
communications manager.  And it looks like a dream to work with compared
to the DOS method with those infernal interrupts and posts.

This I don't know -
  1st, I don't know your definition of compatible - with what?
  2nd, I only have Standard Edition, the Extended Edition won't be here for
       a couple months, yet.
