And I agree. I don't know how many of you have SAMBA running on your
HP9000's, but if I could get a port of this freeware product up and
running on the HP3000, my entire life would change, and would almost be
complete.

Samba uses the SMB protocol to present it's resources (disk and
printers) as though they were just another windows PC or NT server. No
permanent connections or mountings like NFS or Novell. It comes as
source, prepared for many UNIX platforms and ready to compile and
implement.

And so reasonably priced! :)
