Be careful about the netbios interrupt 0x5C interfaces.  There
are various different definitions and a reasonable number of
not particularly well documented characteristics (especially with
respect to recursion and stack usage.)

IBM added a couple of new NCB opcodes when they did the token
ring version.

I tend to use the IBM PC network technical reference as the bible.
I've also used documents from Sytek (now Hughes LAN systems) --
they were the originators of the netbios interface.
