'  ³Does anybody have a routine to check either the network node ID or the
'  ³card id on a NetBios based network, such as LanTastic?

'There is a couple of things in Ethan Winer's book BASIC Techniques
'and Utilities (Ziff Davis Press, ISBN 1-56276-008-4).  First, an
'include file, REGTYPE.BI:

        TYPE RegType
         AX    AS INTEGER
         BX    AS INTEGER
         CX    AS INTEGER
         DX    AS INTEGER
         BP    AS INTEGER
         SI    AS INTEGER
         DI    AS INTEGER
         Flags AS INTEGER
         DS    AS INTEGER
         ES    AS INTEGER
        END TYPE

'Then, a short program fragment with three functions:

'NETCHECK.BAS, identifies which network is running

DEFINT A-Z
''$INCLUDE: 'regtype.bi'

DIM SHARED Registers AS RegType

DECLARE FUNCTION NWThere% ()
DECLARE FUNCTION BVThere% ()
DECLARE FUNCTION MSThere% ()


'NOTE: Do not change the order in which these
'      tests are performed.

PRINT "I think the network is ";

IF NWThere% THEN
  PRINT "Novell Netware"
ELSEIF BVThere% THEN
  PRINT "Banyon Vines"
ELSEIF MSThere% THEN
  PRINT "Lantastic or other MS compatible"
ELSE
  PRINT "Something I don't recognize, or no network"
END IF
'----------------------------------------------------
'The book is a very good one; I heartily recommend it.
