Samba for eComStation (OS/2)
OS/2's native implementation of SMB/CIFS hasen't been updated for 
a long time and has some compatibility problems with modern Windows 
SMB/CIFS implementations.

I will testify to the "some compatibility problems" exist.  Turns 
out the Netlabs plugin isn't much better.  It's still in beta last
time I checked (been in beta for years).

The last time I was able to connect an eCS machine to windoze was
a windoze 95 box.

Plan is to play with the server and see if I can serve up the share
drive to eCS via NFS at the same time it's serving up the same share
to the doze boxes.  Long way around the block but if it works it
could solve my linux problem too.
