[K12OSN] access to samba shares from winxp

[Petre Scheie]

If your legacy apps run under Win98, you might look at Win4Lin.  It does cost 
money, about $80 I think.  Load that on your K12ltsp server, and then you can 
run your Windows apps on the terminals.  I have a couple of applications that 
only run on Windows, and I use Win4Lin for them.
