The easiest way to do this for either Win95 or NT is to have
linux on the machine in question, and mount the Win95 or NT
partition on the linux partition.  Then you can NFS mount the
linux partition on any other unix box.  This works well for 
system administration. 

NTFS is at this point "read-only", but you can read/write to
VFAT or FAT-16.
