I have the exact same problem at work

SCO AFPS 3.5.2 (from memory) running on SCO Openserver 5.0.4 box

Connecting to the samba boxes works fine, but they don't show up the browse list
when the AFPS box is acting as a PDC.

Switched it over to being a BDC and the samba boxes show up again.

Win95 machines show up in the browse list fine, so I'm almost wondering if it's
a conspiracy :)
