Hi -- The paragraph that you quote from RFC1001 is from a part which
is background material describing the typical PC-DOS service interface
to Netbios.

The RFC specifies the protocol, not the service interface.
Even if the quoted paragraph is, in fact, inconsistant with the
Sytek/IBM definition of the NCB service interface, there is no impact
on the RFC1001/1002 protocol.
