Folks,

I'm trying to establish if there is a NetBIOS stack that compensates for
3Com's 3C501's deficiencies?  I have a zillion of these cards and am
trying to see if I can use existing code to run on them.  The code works
just fine with the 3C503s (Etherlink II). The NetBIOS stack need not be
able to talk to a TCP/IP stack (ie RFC 1001/2) but if it does, so much
the better.  Any pointers?  I've access to 3Com's NBP program (version 1.1)
but my app/code doesn't do too well with that and a 501, but works great
with a 503.  Any pointers?

Thanks and regards,
