I know that MS-NET/PC-LAN/LanManager etc are based upon SMB type networking. Are there any other LANs which use SMBs as there message format? Are they documented anywhere? Thanx.

A good basic description of LM, SMBs and NetBIOS usage can be found in Kochan & Wood's 'Unix Networking' (Hayden Books). This also contains info on UUCP, NFS, TCP/IP, STREAMS, X, RFS and other goodies - a good buy, although it looks pricey for the size in the U.K. at first glance.

I also recommend the X/Open source. While XENIX did use some extended SMBs (like SMBfork, for example) which were not in the original MSNet protocol, they are not the same as those used by the LAN Manager. Jim Conrad
