[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Netbios .vs. encapsulated Netbios; any gates?

karl@naitc.naitc.com (Karl Denninger) (12/08/90)

Hello again net.oracle!

We have encapsulated Netbios capability on our PCs right now... we are
looking for a way to convert NBP to TCP/IP-encapsulated NETBIOS, and 
the reverse?

We have a couple of programs which want to see NBP Netbios packets on the
LAN.  Specifically, a 3270-gateway product.  Our TCP/IP can encapsulate
Netbios, but the gateway runs a dedicated OS and we can't get in there to
replace the protocol stack with something that can understand this.

Any ideas?  We understand it will double Netbios traffic; that's acceptable.
