I am currently working with a situation in which I have a netware server that mostly just acts as a file server and a print server. It has several Windows 95 PC's connected to it that use it this way. We want to add intranet and email services to it, but there is no cheap way to do this with Netware. I have been considering the idea of completely getting rid of the Netware server and installing a FreeBSD server with Samba in it's place. Will Samba allow me to map FreeBSD file systems to DOS drives? In other words, will my applications on the Windows PC's be able to access files seemlessly on the FreeBSD server just like they do now under Netware? Basically, I need the server to do the same thing it is doing now, but with the addition of intranet and email services. Is Samba and FreeBSD is viable solution? Thanks, Mike.
