[WinMac] Connecting Win95 to Appletalk

Here's the situation. We have Macs and Windows PC's on a 10base-t network.
The Macs have a server (LC-575) running Appleshare 4.2.1 and the PC's have
an NT 4.0 server that does not currently have Mac services installed. I've
been watching the horror stories about the problems with Mac services and
messed up, alias' and other difficulties.

Now, I'm about to replace my main DTP Mac with a new G3 and 21" monitor. It
will have the buildings main scanner and photo editing software. A new
person has been hired to do some web page maintenance among other jobs, and
needs to use a PC. Is there a way to allow ONE PC to connect to an
AppleTalk Server? Could I install DAVE, or something similar on the G3 and
let it log into the NT server? Or should I resort to sneaker-net via Zip or
Superdisk?

Any ideas, experiences, horror stories appreciated.

Cordially,
