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.
