A friend of mine (not on the net) is having trouble getting a simple
question answered.  What protocol does 3BNET use?  TCP/IP?  XNS?  Or
something of AT&T's own creation?

3BNET refers to the "transport" level protocol used above Ethernet.
More specifically, it really refers to the set of Ethernet user
features provided by AT&T: file transfer (via nisend), remote
command execution (via nisend), electronic mail (via mailx), and
the 3BNET Application Programming Interface. The 3BNET API allows
a user to create his own network applications by constructing
and sending/receiving his own Ethernet packets.
