Is there a reason for using Samba here? If you're integrating with Netware
clients and an existing Netware server, would mars_nwe not be a better
option?

i.e. the combination of both clients together causes a hang? You may not
be able to get two different DOS clients to cooperate - it wasn't designed
that way :-(

Probably an incompatibility between Microsoft's SMB client and Netware's
NCP client: I'd try mars_nwe instead.
