Hello, folks...

First, an advance apology if I am posting to the wrong group(s).  I
really wasn't sure where to ask this...

I have a colleague here who would like to develop a NetBIOS application
off-site.  He asked me to post this query.

Is there anyway to "simulate" netbios on a stand alone PC?  I guess he
would just like to be able to make NetBIOS calls and have the program
continue.  Obviously, whatever the NetBIOS call was meant to do would
not be done.

Is there a way to do this, or is this just a weird idea? (I vote the latter,
but I told him I'd ask.)  He suggested that PCLan has a NetBIOS and 
wondered if we could somehow use that?  Any ideas?

PLEASE E-mail responses.  I cannot keep up with this group.  If anyone
would like copies of any responses I get, E-mail me.

Thanks in advance for any ideas...
