I think it's not so complex to implement it. I think it's implemented
on the lanman pipe and some SMB transact functions.
(if i'm wrong luke will correct me :) )

I don't have anymore a win95 pc to check.

Before starting the implementation, the first job is to know how much work
it will require. So setup a NT4 PDC, and a WIN 95 station pointing to it. 
While you enumerate the users from the WIN95 pc, run netmon (from a sms
distrib, it's better) on the PDC and grab the frames. 

Switch your NT4 PDC for a ntdom-samba server, and do the same.

Compare the traces your captured, you will know how much work is
necessary.

Try also the KB and the MSDN articles, Visual C 5 contains a lot of info
too.
