You can setup a FreeBSD server to run Samba and provide SMB file and print service. That makes it look to your lan like an NT server. You won't be able to run any NLMs but normal DOS and windows programs can be installed on the network drives that FreeBSD/Samba will provide. I just moved one of our clients off of an NT server onto a FreeBSD/Samba combo and they are very happy. Especially with the increased stability and uptime.
