Linux/NetBEUI question

A friend of mine is taxing my Network knowledge these days. He has a Windows server and is trying out Linux.... as a Client on his NetBEUI network. The question is.. how do you get Linux to log into ro see the NetBEUI network.... on a Windows server? Is it even possible to work with NetBEUI and Linux? I have done some Google-ing on this and everything I come up with is usually a dead end. Even my Linux+ Certification text books have nothing on this topic. No I don't know why he uses an ancient protocol like NetBEUI... He likes to do things the hard way I guess. Interesting question though.... Anyone have any ideas or suggestions of where I can look for onfo on this? C.
