This is both to clear up some of the misconceptions about this
subject and to make sure that Seth Olitzky gets his answer (his mail
address keeps bouncing from our location).

In January I tested LANtastic over PC/TCP and Netbios.  I used
version 3.2/AI (Adaptor Independent) of LANtastic and version 2.05 of
PC/TCP and Netbios.  I found this setup to work fine.  I let Artisoft
know about the results and they have told me that it will appear in
the next rev of their compatibility sheet.  It should also be noted
in the next rev of our compatibility sheet.

This version of LANtastic should work over any RFC 1001/1002
compliant Netbios.  Aside from ours, I know Beame and Whiteside, and
Wollongong have one.  NOTE BENE:  There was an early Adaptor
Independent version that did not work over RFC compliant Netbios, but
would only run over Artisoft's AILANBIOS.  This was Adaptor
Independent relative to the Network Card, but not the Transport Stack!

If you have any questions on this subject, please feel free to mail
direct to me.
