I do not suggest Win98 as a permanent solution, only as something

Not that I know of, but I didn't configure them.
Something else:
When you create a file, say "<Alef><Bet><Gimel>.txt", what do
you get in the Samba side
(do 'ls -l --show-control-chars | od -tx1')?
Also, is saving hebrew named files to shares on other Windows machines
(both NT and 9x) work? What do you get on the server (especially in
9x - samba behaves like 9x until 3.0 will be released with unicode)?
