Re: How can I see the AS/400 from my Linux box?

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxx>]

Samba also comes with an SMB client that is a linux pgm that allows the
Linux box to see other SMB compatible resources on the LAN like a NetServer
enabled AS400 or other PC's.

PS:  I am in the process of loading this on a Sun Sparc system that is also
on an AS400 network.  I don't see any problems.  But proof if proof.  Samba
is available on both Sun, Intel, and Linux, as well as other Unix based OS's.
