Get Samba, a freeware SMB server for many unices. Works like a charm once 
you've got TCP/IP set up on your 3.11 or 95 machine. See 
http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/samba.html

If you want it to work the OTHER way round (use an SMB based server like
LanMan/NT/Win95(?) on a linux machine), you can get the ksmbfs filesystem,
which is fairly stable.
