just to add yet another possible alternative, i've just played this week
with using samba over ssh, from my linux machine at home to a remote linux
machine. after redirecting port 139 of my local machine to port 139 of the
remote machine (ssh -L .....), i used smbmount to mount a directory from
the remote machine on the local machine, and got it working. One problem -
on my 28.8k modem, the connection was quite slow. any 'ls' command came
out with a slagish response. i didn't try file transfers yet (only created
a 'hello world' file using vi - it responded VERY slagishly, sometimes
getting stuck for 5-7 seconds between operations (e.g. when trying to save
the file).
