Map Unix

We have a windows XP / 98 network with one sco unix system. We can telnet
into it (the unix system IP on our system is 10.2.3.1). for running programs
we used to run on dumb terminals. That works fine.

From our 98 machines we can use (company out of business) Platinum's PC
Enterprise to map folders on the Unix drive.They show up as mapped drives.
This works also.

PC Enterprise will not work with XP. The unix system does have sco nfs
installed. Knowing this, what can I use on the XP machines to be able to see
and map folders on the unix machine? (We need to send files to the unixs
machine).

thanks.

Instead of looking for nfs clients for windows, you might try looking
for smb servers for unix.

The Windows world thinks about things like "network shares". The UNIX /
Linux world thinks about things like "SAMBA Shares". You need to install
"SAMBA" or "SMB" (or whatever your distro-media calls it) onto your UNIX
server.

The thing that they call "SAMBA" is the file sharing mojo that Windows needs
to do two-way file sharing with UNIX / Linux.

Why don't you install Unix in both machines?
