NOTICE:  I WORK FOR NCR....Potential Bias....

The NCR version of Lan Manager inherited from AT&T, MAC services and serving,
including file and print services.  Prior to the AT&T / NCR merger, I worked 
with this product at AT&T and saw it perform.  Hence, I would conclude that
NCR has what you want, and it does work.

For any more details, please contact NCR privately.  (I hope I didn't slide
too deep into a sales pitch... :-))
