: what I need to make windows95 machines talk to a Linux server?

I've set up my linux system at home to talk to my W95 laptop (and my A/UX
box too).

I installed samba on the linux box to serve files and run the usual TCP/IP
applications on the W95 box to allow for terminal access, file transfer etc.
Setting up samba was about 1/2 an hours work (just build the software and
follow the install instructions!). Try http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/
for more details on samba.
