samba - May 1998 - Samba and Windows CE

This is my first time posting to the digest, so I hope I get this 
     right.  CC:Mail is also giving me problems, so bear with me.
     
     I've come across a web page giving a link to Microsoft's written
but
     unsupported Network Client for Windows CE.  This lets a Windows CE 
     palmtop browse Windows shares across a network.  HOwever, the web page 
     claims that it doesn't work with Samba.  Can anyone give me 
     confirmation on this?  Is this problem being worked on?  I'd love to 
     donate a palmtop for the effort, but I'm already borrowing the one I 
     have access to from another developer.

I have the Socket Communications low-power ethernet card on my HP 620LX
WinCE box and can access my \\sambaserver\homes area.  I believe SP1 for
this machine adds the proper network redirectors so that you can access
those from the "Run..." dialog box by just typing the UNC.

Veeeeery useful.
