Exactly which driver needs to be used for the WD8003E. There's a NETBIOS driver for the WD8003E which comes with the card. There's also one in the AI/LANBIOS product Artisoft sells (separately from the Lantastic NOS/AI product). I know that the latter does work with NOS/AI, and the former should work also, except that it will take up more memory than the latter. >2. Is there a 3COM NetBIOS driver available? You should check with 3COM. I know they have NETBIOS drivers for at least some of their cards (like the 3C505). >3. Which drivers are supplied with the AI (Adaptor-Independent) version > of Lantastic? The Lantastic NOS/AI package comes with no hardware drivers at all, it simply runs on top of NETBIOS. Artisoft also sells a AI/LANBIOS product which contains only a WD8003E NETBIOS driver (as of the beginning of this year). Some Ethernet card manufacturers also have NETBIOS drivers for their cards. >4.

I haven't seen a publicly available NETBIOS-over-Ethernet driver around on the net yet. The free packet drivers that has been floating around the net aren't too useful in the Lantastic context. ...Sam --
