I am looking for some advice on coming up to speed on the LAN technologies ...


I have an electronics and communications background, and am a member (new) of
IEEE. I hack 'C" and assy, unix sysv.4, but have limited experience in Ethernet,
Token ring, FDDI, etc.

I am looking for a thorough explanation of how NETBEUI, 3+ 3Com works...


I have spent a great deal of time at Computer Literacy books stores in Silicon
Valley, but have still to find a good intro into the LAN systems in use, their
capabilities, error recovery theoretical-practical, and in general, an inside
look at their basic layout! For Example- I have read the 'C' programmers guide
 to NETBIOS, and understand the concepts - but how does that apply to any other
implementation of NETBIOS - When another vendor says NETBIOS, does he mean the
PC NETBIOS software interface, or just the whole name registering ordeal?

Utterly confused ...
