samba - Sep 2002 - MSDOS on my network

Hello,
I am looking for the first time at setting up Linux with Samba as a primary 
server on our network. I would like to replace my SCO Unix system and a 
Windows box I use to serve MSDOS machines. The MSDOS server seems to be the 
stumbling block at this point in my research. I can only run netbEUI on 
them as far as I know and Samba seems to only talk on TCP/IP. Do you know 
of a solution?
Thanks for any help,
Alex Janssen

Look for LanManager. IIRC it should be on one of Windows NT CDs.

The Microsoft Network Client v3.0 supports TCP/IP. I use it for installing
Windows OS's on my workstations, instead of carrying around a whole bunch of
CD's. Of course, my systems all have the same network card or I would have
to carry around a bunch of bootdisks too.

I have some bootdisks that are pre-made for several different network cards
at http://www.vangeyn.net/netdisks/ , just incase you have the same NIC and
don't want to make a bootdisk yourself.
