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. -- Ryan Underwood,
