samba - Jun 2000 - Samba 1.9.x vs 2.0.7 not connecting to MS DOS Server

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature...
 The 2.0.7 version no longer wants to connect to a DOS 6.22/DOS LANMAN2.1
(wg1049.exe) server. Version 1.9.18 does work.
Both smbclient and (more importantly for our needs) smbmount fail.
However, both work fine with win95 boxes. The problem seems specific to the
DOS server. I could not find any reference to this issue. Am I perhaps 
overlooking something?





Using samba 1.9.18p10 to a DOS box:

smbclient  -L DOS_Box 

[...]
doing parameter lock directory = /var/lock/samba
doing parameter share modes = yes
pm_process() returned Yes
adding IPC service

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
        RDC            Disk      
        RDD            Disk      
        RL             Disk      



using 2.0.7:



smbclient -d 5 -N -L DOS_Box

For smbmount:

What kernel version(s) are you using?

The support for older protocols was removed in smbfs in linux 2.2.16,
with the comment:
  - removed support for old protocol levels. It didn't work anyway and 
    was cluttering things up a lot.

old = anything but win9x/NT/2k, I think.

Does simply switching smbmount from 2.0.7 to 1.9.18 make it work? should
be impossible with 2.2.16, but perhaps not if you are using an earlier
version.
