With NT running SMB (e.g. LANMAN) protocols (e.g. LANMAN) over TCP/IP, you
can do this already. If you wish to use the FreeBSD box as a file server,
then chase up the SAMBA port.

AFAIK "-current" has early IPX support although I've not (yet) tried it.

NETBEUI is unlikely to be supported .. ever .. even MS have (effectively)
dropped it seriously reducing anyone's interest in making it fly.

This raises a question of mine .. is it possible to have one Novell server
on one ethernet segment and none on another (workstation) side ? I gather
that I need to specify a different Novell "network number" on each side of
the FreeBSD box but does this prevent me from using a "far" server as my
nearest ?
