You get 'smbclient' - which is an ftp-like program that uses SMB, you can
connect and ftp files off a LAN Manager host (such as Win'9X/NT)... This is
also used by smbtar - which can automatically tar files off a LAN Manager
system, but they don't allow you to cross-mount an SMB/LANManager drive onto a
unix filesystem :-(
