I am working in the domain of LANs and I like to have informations on NBP. (I don't have interesting documentations concerning this subject). Thank you. ABDUL MALAK Abdo IRIT-UPS 118, Rte de Narbonne 31062 TOULOUSE Cedex - FRANCE phone: 61.55.67.68 e-mail: valderru@irit.fr

I too am interested in NBP information. To expand slightly on this, NBP is a 3Com proprietary protocol included as one of the protocol options in 3+Open. It is small (in terms of memory requirements in a DOS workstation) and fast, and we therefore use it here at Edinburgh. Unfortunately, it currently has problems running with the Western Digital Ethernet card, although I think these problems are associated with the WD NDIS driver rather than the NBP protocol. I'd be really interested in a specification of the protocol, so we can understand the packets our analyser sees. Chris Adie Edinburgh University Computing Service
