The later 2.2.x kernels contain support for the SMB file systems.
Assuming you have a Windows9x machine, foo, sharing it's C drive.
mount -t smbfs -o password=xxx //foo/c /home/foo
You now can use foo's C: drive, or any other share that foo decides to
allow you to use.
The command:smbclient -L foo allows you to see what foo is exporting,
similar to the network neighborhood.
