Hi Jim, Czezz,

The jacco2 page suggests the following:

IBM LAN Client - dead link

IBM DOS LAN Services - 10 diskettes and not necessarily what you want

Pathworks client - license and availability unknown

Artisoft / Spartacom / PCMicro LanTastic - dead product?

Windows for Workgroups - no longer sold?

MS Workgroup Add-On for DOS - expensive

MS CLIENT - takes lots of RAM but still available, 1995:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/MSCLIENT/ 845+282k

LAN MANager Client - less popular than MS CLIENT?
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/BusSys/Clients/LANMAN/ 4 disks!



The page does not mention a modern alternative: A DOS port
of Samba smbclient exists! You can use that to access SMB
drives with a similar user experience as text FTP clients.
It does not mount the SMB drive / share as DOS drive letter
but you can look around and upload and download files etc.

You can download SMBCLIENT from http://mik.dyndns.org/dos-stuff/
only while the computer of the maintainer is on (DynDNS)...

Regards, Eric
