Careful.  Pure NetBEUI (like in Windows for Workgroups 3.11) is
non-routable, and will break if you try to stuff it into a PPTP link (it
will not go).  For instance, if you are trying to communicate between a WfW
box and an OS/2 Warp box over the link, it won't work.

However, the NetBEUI over TCP/IP (often called NBT in MS literature) is
built into Win9x/NT/2000 and will work just fine as you suggest.

Best,

Allan
