I'm trying to find out what the problems are in running Lantastic
Network Operating System ontop of NETBIOS which is running ontop of
TCP/IP.  Both Wollongong and FTP Software implement an RFC1001 and RFC1002
complient NETBIOS over TCP/IP.  The Lantastic Network is suppose to have a
version that is adapter independent which runs over Netbios.
Apparently neither Wollongong or FTP Softwares TCP Netbios works with
Lantastic.  

I'm trying to get a better understanding of why this technically doesn't
work.

Is Lantastic not really NETBIOS complient?  What does it mean to really be
NETBIOS complient?  Could someone give me an explanation as to why this
really doesn't work.  Also what is wrong with the following picture, I thought
that this should represent how every thing should work?

	-----------------

	| Netbios       |

	| TCP/IP        |
	-----------------
	| Ethernet      |

Any help would be much appreciated?
