Here's a note I received via e-mail --DS: In reference to #11: "I don't have to purchase Dave or PCMacLan to network to my PC." How's that? By FTP? Because Mac OS X doesn't support MS SMB file system, does it? What did I miss? -- Steven B. Wolff

  Well, you have two options...
  
  (i) Download the open-source Samba and compile it yourself and use the command-line tools to mount and unmount SMB/CIFS disks from PC hosts
  
  (ii) Download and test the commercial OS X app Sharity (search versiontracker.com for info), a CIFS client with GUI that plugs into the Network part of the Finder.
  
  Either options are satisfactory.
