  A 10/100 hub would do the job (and, in fact, he could take one of the NICs
out of the server in that case).  But that's a $200+ piece of hardware that
he doesn't need if he can get NetBIOS traffic routed between his two segments
-- and he probably has the software to do that already on hand.  Switching
the NetBIOS traffic to run over a routable protocol (TCP/IP), rather than the
non-routable NetBEUI, involves more configuration work, but it may be easier
for him to spend time on this than money.
