Ok, I *know* I'll get some replies to this... :-) :-)

I'm looking for a free/pd NetBIOS implementation for Unix. i.e.
user level calls, etc.. NOT the rfc's!!
Better yet, does anyone have any free/pd SMB (server message block)
code/servers available?  I have spec's on SMB, but nothing really 
on NetBIOS.
Why you ask?  Because I have several PC's (windows for workgroups)
connected to an NT machine and would like access to my Unix filesystems
without buying NFS clients or having to load TCP/IP on the PC's.
A way to mount NFS exports on NT and then share then would work, but
I don't think it would be free.  What I would like to do is turn
my Unix machine (NetBSD) into a big WFW server.  The SMB specs don't
seem that complicated, so if Appleshare can be impletemented via CAP,
why not SMB?

Thanks for any help, pointers, etc..
