I have Xenix-Net running over the Excelan NetWare product.  The
documentation indicates that it is running NetBios over TCP/IP
in accordance with RFC's 1002 and 1003.

I also have a DOS based machine in which I have an ethernet Lan
card running a clarkson packet driver and NCSA Telnet.  

When instead of NCSA Telnet, I try to load up a Netbios product
which talks with the packet driver (Specifically the Coconet product)
I can communicate with other DOS machines configured in the
same fashion.  However, I cannot communicate with the Xenix-Net
machines over NetBios even though the Telnet works fine.

I think my problem is that the Coconet product is not using NetBios over
TCP/IP but is instead just using bare NetBios.  Is this correct?

If it is correct, what implementation of Net Bios do I want for my
DOS machines?  Is there any Public Domain implementation that I
could be using?
