I tried to set this up a while ago and had no luck.  I'm quite fuzzy on 
all the Windows client protocols.  I think I got the server running right
but then did not know how to configure W95 to find the server.  Does
W95 come with the client software that talks to the samba server?  is
that NetBios?  What is NetBios called under Windows?  What's it's relationship
to NetBaui (or whatever that WFW protocol is named)?
