This is exactly what we are planning on doing - at least for terminal
services.  However, for file server/laserwriter support, you are going to
need more than WIN/TCP - you'll probably need Eunice BSD 4.3, and even that
might need work.  Might it be possible to build the CAP/Aufs/lwsrv under
Eunice and then run the result under the REX program that comes with WIN/TCP?
I looked into doing something similar for getting tn3270 under VMS but all
parties said that there were problems with this approach (I.e. the stuff would
look for Eunice-related gbl sections that aren't loaded with REX)
