samba - Apr 2004 - Samba, Mac and IBM Midrange

We are currently trying to access an IBM AS/400 (iSeries) system with a Mac
system running OS X. We have setup a share drive thru the AS/400's
NetServer.
We have successfully connected to the shared drive but all characters in are
not legible. 
Looks like the code page is not set correctly, also when we click on an object
it disappears from the screen. Is there additional configurations steps
required for these two platforms to work together.

OS X connects to SMB servers out of the box. OS 9 does not, however 
there is third party software (Dave from Thurlby Systems ?) that adds 
this capability.

Be aware however that Netatalk sores Mac files differently to OS X 
accessing the same server via SMB - though there is a forked project 
(under a different name that escapes me at the moment) that is 
engineering a version of Netatalk to support AFP3 and compatibility 
between the two access methods.
