    I think my problem is that the Coconet product is not using NetBios over
    TCP/IP but is instead just using bare NetBios.  Is this correct?

It's using some proprietary transport protocol instead of TCP/IP; there isn't
really any such thing as "bare Netbios".
    
    If it is correct, what implementation of Net Bios do I want for my
    DOS machines?  Is there any Public Domain implementation that I
    could be using?

All the DOS TCP/IP Netbioses are commercial: FTP Software, Wollongong,
Excelan/Novell, Ungermann-Bass, CMC, Interlan.  Any of them should talk
to the SCO product.
