While Samba is a nice package that I often recommemd, it does not do NetBIOS
over NetBEUI, but only does NetBIOS over TCP/IP (TCPBEUI). This is not
usually a problem, since TCPBEUI is a superset of NetBEUI at the expense of
slightly more configuration work, assuming you can choose the network
protocol.
