LAN Manager from Microsoft includes three protocol layers under NETBIOS
NDIS at the wire provides the MAC layer - whether ethernet or token-ring.
DLC sits above NDIS to provide the LLC layer.
NETBEUI sits above DLC to provide the Network...Session Layers
SMB sits above NETBEUI to provide the system services.

All these protcols are defined in documents available from Microsoft,
IBM, or 3Com.
