The world grows ever richer with choice: Ungermann-Bass has an Intel 80186-based intelligent card, for the PC, which provides TCP/IP and Netbios, simultaneously. It can perform the sort of FTP-to-shared-remote-disk (say that quickly, 5 times) trick that Dan describes. The Netbios interface is faithful to the IBM specification AND will permit partial use of DDN domain names. Making this work turns out to be something of a game, since IBM limits names to 16 characters. To avoid complaints of inappropriate use of the medium for sales purposes, I will cut short this exposition, except to note that the card's performance is superb and the user also has access to data link, IP, and UDP interfaces.
