There's a nice SMD server called samba. It runs nicely
under FreeBSD and allows any Windows 95
box to connect to a unix host via TCP/IP. The nice thing
is that if you have TCP/IP running, Windows needs nothing
else to be installed to connect. You can check for samba
port somewhere at www.freebsd.org/ports/
Samba is not the easiest thing to configure, but people
made it work, so could you :-)
Good luck!
