Either of these two pictures will work:
    

--------------------------- -----------------------------
|  LANtastic Redirector   | | Telnet, FTP, LPR, and     |
--------------------------- |  whatever other TCP/IP    |
|   NetBIOS over TCP/IP   | |  applications used        |
---------------------------------------------------------
|               TCP/IP software Native API              |
---------------------------------------------------------
| Any supported driver (including ne2000 Packet Driver) |
---------------------------------------------------------
|      Network Interface Card  (e.g. ne2000 or IBM TR)  |
---------------------------------------------------------

Which requires every LANtastic node to run TCP/IP     OR

                            -----------------------------
                            | Telnet, FTP, LPR, and     |
                            |  whatever other TCP/IP    |
                            |  applications used        |
                            -----------------------------
                            |      TCP/IP Native API    |
--------------------------- -----------------------------
|  LANtastic redirector   | |   nb.com from Clarkson    |
---------------------------------------------------------
| Any NetBIOS (including LANtastic's NetBIOS over AE-2) |
---------------------------------------------------------
|      Network Interface Card  (e.g. ne2000 or IBM TR)  |
---------------------------------------------------------

Which requires a router such as PathWay ROUTE or KA9Q to
de-encapsulate the TCP/IP within NetBIOS packets.
