I wrote network software on a PC AT, using the NetBIOS interface.
In the near future, this software will be ported to PS/2 machines.
In this light, I have two questions. I hope someone can answer them.

-Is there in existence a NetBIOS interface for OS/2? (I heard something
 about a product called Novell386...)

-Will the NetBIOS interface (I'm using Intel's PCLink2 now) be 100%
 compatible if I use MsDOS on the PS/2 machines?

Thanks in advance.
