Eh? I didn't think we had any NetBEUI server/clients for FreeBSD.  or else
this is a function of natd I haven't heard about.  

Natd is normally used to gateway an internal private TCP/IP network, using
invalid IP addresses, to another TCP/IP network.  Clients in the private
side proxy their physical addresses on the natd host and it takes care of
getting the info through.  This is commonly used to allow a home network
access to the Internet through a single PPP link on a FreeBSD server.
