Folks, I'm trying to establish if there is a NetBIOS stack that compensates for 3Com's 3C501's deficiencies? I have a zillion of these cards and am trying to see if I can use existing code to run on them. The code works just fine with the 3C503s (Etherlink II). The NetBIOS stack need not be able to talk to a TCP/IP stack (ie RFC 1001/2) but if it does, so much the better. Any pointers? I've access to 3Com's NBP program (version 1.1) but my app/code doesn't do too well with that and a 501, but works great with a 503. Any pointers? Thanks and regards, -- Harish Pillay harish@itivax.bitnet CSA Research Pte Ltd (soon)...!hp-pcd!orstcs!temasek!harish 12 Science Park Dr #03-01 65-772-0594 (w), 65-777-4554 (fax) Singapore 0511 65-278-4191 (h) Republic of Singapore

We have a NetBIOS for our TCP/IP. It will run over the 3C501, but I've no idea if it will compensate for the cards deficiencies. It certainly won't make the card any faster. Frances Kirk Selkirk info@ftp.com (617) 246-0900 FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street, Wakefield, MA 01880
