OK. The print server is working and I have a new project to work on. So! Can anyone tell me what file service request packets, and their response look like (ie fields, values etc).

Instead, the API is documented at the software interrupt level, and a C library interface to the API is provided for DOS and OS/2 clients. There is also a Mac client API available, but I know less about it. If you have a top-of-the-line LAN protocol analyzer like the Novell LANalyzer or the Network General Sniffer, you can use this to decode NCP packets. I think that with the combination of the API reference and the packet decodes there is very little you can't figure out.
