Were you hoping to get rid of Samba?  Don't know what version of the
OS you're running, but at V5R3 they've made a bunch of improvements to
NetServer.  We use Windows boxes to scan images and use NetServer to
store the files on the iSeries.  It used to take about 4 seconds to
move an image from the Windows box to the iSeries.  We can now move a
couple of files per second.
