My Linux machines coexist with an office full of NT and Win95 machines
thanks to:
    Samba (http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba) which allows resources
          on my machine to be visible to SMB network users
and smbfs which allows me to access the "shares" of the 95/NT machines
          on the network.  The smb file system is an optional part of
	  all recent Linux kernels.  An alternative is the older
	  "smbclient" which is included with samba.  It is more like
	  an FTP client tool which allows you to transfer files to/from
	  SMB shares.

There are RPM packages for samba and smbmount/smbumount (the latter of
which isn't really necessary, but which provides some convenience
features).

Are there some specific questions you have?
