DOS LanManager will run over DRDOS, and is downloadable free from
Microsoft. It provides direct connectivity between DRDOS/Windows3x and
Win95 via smb protcol (Network Neighborhood) It's not a bad way to go if
you have a mix of DRDOS and Windoze machines on the same network. Works
fine with Samba/Linux also
