Microsoft has a Lan Manager client for MS-DOS over on ftp.microsoft.com;
unfortunately, I've forgotten the directory in which it lives. The Lan
Manager client will be able to mount directories exported by Win95.

I've not used the client with OpenDOS, so I can't vouch for its veracity.
When I played with it (some years ago), I used it to mount shares exported
from Unix machines with Samba. The primary difficulty was the size of the
client software; it is not small, and neither is the TCP/IP package needed to
make it run. Additionally, I have not found other software (telnet, ftp, etc)
capable of running with that TCP/IP package.
