I use the Samba server on my FreeBSD-2.1.5 UNIX firewall/gateway for everything else like file and print sharing, if that helps any. As an alternative, is there a freeware/public domain/shareware/cheap SMTP client for Windows 95? I could use a POP mail program, i know, but for long-winded reasons the former best suits my needs.
