Ahh yes, I had forgotten about that issue. There is/was a free TCP/IP stack
from MS for this up on their web site. It has some problems. It gets the
netmask wrong in handling DHCP responses, for example ... (something like
255.255.255.0 comes out as 0.255.255.255 :-).  There is a fixed version on
the Windows NT CDs in the clients area or something like that.

We just might see NetBEUI support in Samba this year as well ...
