Since your on Linux, you might want to check out Mateusz’s EtherDFS. It works 
pretty well. I’ve used it a lot while doing development. 

Basically, you run a EtherDFS server on linux. Then, the DOS EtherDFS client to 
mount it. It however does not support Long File Names. 

For me, I use it in a slightly more complex way. I do most of my stuff on a Mac 
and it won't work on this machine directly. But, no problem. My server runs 
Linux. So, I have a disk image disk image that gets mounted by the server. I 
then share that directory over Samba (for the Mac) and with EtherDFS for real 
and virtual DOS Machines. 

So, I can drop a file on the Samba Share and immediately hop onto the DOS 
machine and the file is available. No reboots, mount/dismount tricks or 
anything. It works the other direction as well.
