I know of a company here in Houston that made use of
 Samba, (must of been early 1997, or late 96) connecting NT work stations to a 928. The apps. running on the 
workstations were imaging apps., like CAD CorelDraw, 
PhotoShop. One gotcha with CAD tho, it seems that pre-
release version of Samba would always return zero bytes 
free space, no matter how much free space the HP3000 
actually had. Most PC applications didn't really care, as 
long as they could write to the disc. But CAD would check 
the free space before writing. Overall it worked great, except 
MPE didn't perform as well as expected ;-(

I haven't set up Samba yet, but what I wanted to try to do was store TIFF
images on a 3000, then use the Wang Imaging that is built into Windows to
pick the files up off the of the 3000, instead of having to store them off
on an NT server somewhere.  It would be a lot faster if we can have Imaging
open the files directly on the 3k instead of downloading them first.

Is this doable?  Any suggestions on setup?

thanks,
