Combining NETBEUI and TCP/IP (?)

Dear readers,


First of all, I know this is probably not the correct group for this question,
but I really didn't find a group that suited the subject. And since it is
about a MS-DOS driver...


Problem:
	Currently I'm using a LAN which is connected to both an Unix server and
	an OS/2 server. The first can be reached when I load PC-NFS on my 
	machine. To reach the latter, I have to load NETBEUI (Lan Manager).
	Since I have to access both servers (Unix for E-Mail, connections to the
	world :-), etc; OS/2 for NOTES, Programs, etc), I have to reboot my
	machine each time I want to do something on the other server. Concurrent
	access is not possible.

What I want:
	A driver that implements both the NETBEUI and the PC-NFS layer. So,
	NOTES (which has to use NETBEUI) sees NETBEUI, and telnet sees PC-NFS
	(or TCP/IP to be correct).
	MS Windows should see PC-NFS when MSW is set up for PC-NFS and it 
	should see NETBEUI when it is set up for NETBEUI.

So the question(s):
	Does such a driver exist?
	Did you have the same problem and solved it differently?
	Do you see other solutions?


You can follow-up to this article, but if this is the wrong place, you could 
also mail me.

With Regards (and Best Whishes for '93),
