I believe UB, TRW, and CMC have M-node NetBIOS with their onboard TCP/IP products. The big problem with M-node (rather definitionally) is that it doesn't interoperate with all of the B-node implementations which are out there. A number of folk, including ourselves, have implemented NetBIOS to DNS name mapping and/or aliasing to allow NetBIOS over TCP/IP B-node hosts to work over the Internet. To my knowledge, we are the only ones currently shipping product (though I kind of hope James will tell me I'm wrong given his latest release -- that most NetBIOS over TCP/IP implementations provide worse interconnectivity than XNS or NetBEUI is a major embarrassment). enjoy, leo j mclaughlin iii The Wollongong Group ljm@twg.com Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
