Actually, the IBM NETBIOS protocol is called NETBEUI; it stands for
NETBios Extended User Interface. That was the first available protocol
from IBM running on top of 802.2 LLC. It is an extension of the Sytek
proprietary protocols running on the original PC/Net adapter which
introduced the world to NetBios. IBM really wants the world to adopt
LU6.2 as their transport-and-above-layers protocol suite. That's
available from IBM as APPC and it runs on top of 802.2 LLC also.
