I've never tried it, but from what I understand that's exactly what
you need to do.  I think there's more information about that sort of
thing on the Samba web site...

Another option would be to run mars_nwe on the Linux box, and NetWare
clients on the DOS machines.

Not that I know anything about it, but could this be what you are
looking for?
