Microsoft Lan Manager, also sold as part of IBM Lan Server, 3Com 3+Open, Ungermann-Bass Net One and under various other guises all have full NETBIOS interfaces which are 100% compatible with any other valid implementation of NETBIOS. Of course, you must ensure that your network software is using the same network stacks at both the DOS & OS/2 ends of the network, ie NETBIOS on. TCP/IP, or NETBEUI, or NETBIOS on XNS, or DECNET etc. DOS & OS/2 software, with compatible network stacks are all part of the Lan Manager product. FYI: LanManager not only has DOS & OS/2 connectivity, but also Macintosh, through 3Coms add-on products, and also to Unix, through "Lan Manager for Unix" as sold by Hewlett-Packard, AT&T and others, and various other operating systems including VAX/VMS.
