Funny. I have just begun (and I really mean BEGUN) to work on a NetBios 
& SMB implementation for *BSD. (I'm on FreeBSD, coz NetBSD wants my 3c503
to be in 0xd0000, and I can't find such a setting on my card.)

As we are a LanMan shop, I'm primarily interested in making an SMB client.
 
One question: does anyone (Bob?) know if the various SMB servers (LanMan,
Lan Server, Pathworks, etc.) out there implement Xenix extensions?

(SMB specs can be found at lanman.gatech.edu, maintained by Bob.)

May I ask where is this?

TIA. Cheers.
