Hi Paul.
There is a setting in NT that is called "Services for Macintosh."
Whether it is exactly applicable to your colleague's situation, you'll have
to explore. It may just present some other ideas toward a solution.
When I had to use this feature, it was to make all of the NT network "see"
the G3/LaserWriter combo. It worked swimmingly, and the Mac could access the
NT side of things for dropping files into user folders.
Here is a short tutorial page on the subject:

Sorry that I'm no help with any specific AS mechanisms.
From that above tutorial, it says:
====
Windows NT Server comes with built-in file and print sharing support for
Macintosh clients over AppleTalk. This is called Services for Macintosh. NT
Services for Macintosh allows Macintosh users to access a volume on the
Windows NT server through the Chooser and to access printers connected to
the NT server. After Services for Macintosh is set up, the NT server
computer can function as an AppleTalk Phase 2 router. Since it functions as
a router, you can use the NT server to setup AppleTalk Zones.
When you set up Services for Macintosh on a computer running Windows NT
Server, the AppleTalk Protocol, File Server for Macintosh, and the Print
Server for Macintosh are all enabled.
