[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Thanks, ...NetBIOS

Thanks for the info re voice over Ethernet, the reason I was interested
was that I was thinking about the possibility of connecting an
Ethernet LAN to ISDN. <* just thinking *>

On a different note, does anyone know any authoritative books, articles...
about NetBIOS? Besides IBM's Technical Reference that costs $300 where I
live. I am starting to write an interface to an already written application
and a Network using TurboPascal and NetBIOS. The network is ISDN (Basic Rate)
(Bell Canada's ISDN trial in Ottawa). We want to extract the calling line id
from the D-channel so that the application can find the callers name and
insert it in an electronic message. The secretary then only has to type
in the message.
The NetBIOS specification that I have for the PC-Terminal Adaptor we have is
not quite good enough.

Thanks in advance,

                 Marc

Sorry, the IBM Tech Ref is more-or-less by definition "authorative".  It is
the reference of either choice or necessity for everyone I've encountered
who works on NETBIOS, and if you can't find the info there, get out the
disassembler and start learning the PC LAN Program the hard way...
