Unless the router is a domain controller (ie., an NT that's been
installed for that way), the answer is no. This isn't linux's "fault",
it's due to the fact that NetBEUI is a broadcast protocol, and is not
normally routed.
So much for linux, off-topic for the list from now on:
Note, however, that your '95 users may still be able to connect to
their friends on the other network by mapping them directly (not
through nn). They'll need to know how to get there somehow, so either
ask for the IP of the destination machine or enable DNS resolution for
host lookups. It's bound to be in your properties somewhwere :-) .
This obviously assumes the '95 boxen know TCP/IP and are willing to
talk NetBIOS over TCP/IP (also, your router musn't block ports 13[5-9]
udp).
