Are there any de-facto standards for a C-interface to NetBIOS ??
The recent book "C Programmer's Guide to NetBIOS" doesn't help
at all in this regard.  I am hoping there are better interfaces
than just a single function that requires a pointer to an NCB.
(The IBM-supplied C interface to their TCP/IP system under VM
consists of a single C function, believe it or not.)

Also, who supplies NetBIOS implementations for systems other
than PC-DOS ??  Has anyone implemented RFC 1001 / RFC 1002 in
a generic way under UNIX ??
