DAVE is an implementation of SMB for Mac's. It's a commercial product.

I presume you're the apple share IP package which eliminates the 
slowness of
AppleTalk... and of course the lack of support for AppleTalk outside of

The only reason I could see for an NT box would be clustering. And then 
the
MSNT/2K AppleShare package in the past has not supported clustering...
