I've used this under "real" DOS.  It mostly works with a Samba server.
Large transfers seem to time out.  Also, Netbios name resolution via DNS
doesn't work.

There is a server package "MS-DOS Workgroup Server" that was sold
separately from the free client, that let your DOS machine become a
server.  That also mostly worked with some quirks.  The biggest thing is
that newer versions of the Samba client can't connect to it, so I had to
compile a Samba 1.x client specifically for this purpose.
