NetBios is both a specification (IBM's original PC Net Tech Ref) and implementations, but it isn't a device driver. The topside of NetBios provides the "spec" facilities to the caller, and the bottomside expresses those facilities in the form of the chosen network. That means there are as many NetBios implementations as networks, plus a few spares. If you already have a network then more than likely a NetBios program is supplied with it. Joe D.
