While you are correct that you can install NetBEUI and it will work on XP,
it will NOT work over a RAS connection. I know of no way to get around this.
If the application is critical, perhaps you could use a Windows 2000 server
running Terminal Services and NetBEUI to dial the other business and the
clients could run the app via a RDP client session?

side of the dial-up network to think that the XP is running netbeui?
