Netbeui is not routable. But Netbios over TCP/IP is routable. 
All you have to do is make the remote TCP/IP host known to the 
client and make sure that the remote host runs TCP/IP (in the case
of a WfW machine this can be achieved with the free TCP/IP stack
from MS). In case of Win95 machine this is built in per se.

You can try it out yourself: 

type /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L blues.physik.rwth-aachen.de

But you only need samba when you want unix machines let participate.
