Do your products hook into PROTMAN$ (Protocol Manager)?
Do they provide an upper layer that looks like NETBIOS? Or vendor proprietary
interface?

IE:        PROTMAN$
              ^
              |--------------+
              V              V
             IP$            ARP$
              |
              |--------+
              V        V
            TCP$      UDP$

Would be how I envision the protocols hooking together under PROTMAN$.

What about providing an uppoer layer that looked like NETBIOS?  Would allow
lots of flexible programming interfaces to be written since NETBIOS is
integrated right into OS/2 and DOS now (at least for the LAN environment)
