A NetBIOS handler is going to trap interrupt 5Ch and send the corresponding
packet on the wire, depending on the protocol.  If you want to simulate
NetBIOS, perhaps the best way to do it is to trap int 5Ch, parse the
requests being posted (I forget exactly which registers are used to pass
the info but I can look it up if it is important), and return information
to the user.  The information returned would probably be a table which
says for a particular request, post this response.

Hope this is what your friend is looking for.
