SAMBA is a Unix solution. It implements SMB file sharing protocol on top of TCP/IP transport for a Unix server (SMB is the standard which MS LAN Manager, IBM LAN Server, MS Net, Xenix Net, etc use). If you have the LAN Manager client for DOS (free download from Microsoft), and a DOS TCP/IP stack with NetBIOS interface (all DOS stacks I know of implement a NetBIOS interface) it will work just fine... For Windows, the complete solution is free, since Microsoft also has a free TCP/IP stack for Windows. If you could find a NetBEUI transport for Unix (never heard of one), and you wanted to munge SAMBA to talk to the transport (SAMBA uses BSD Sockets, and is wed to TCP/IP) you could make it work using NetBEUI on your DOS/Windows machine.
