[Racks brain]

I think the issue you will have with getting Windows 3.1X talking to Samba
is persuading it to talk TCP/IP. There always used to be a free download
from Microsoft to add a TCP/IP stack, however I can't remember (and really
don't want to :-) what versions it supported, and where to get it.
