True - but Wind98 and NT refuse to connect to servers that dont support
encryppted password- unless you turn it off.

You can get some registry patchs that turn this off for NT and Win98. See
http://ie.samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ/#28
Think Win95A and Win95B do support encrypted passwords by default, however
I'm not 100% sure. If you got a virgin Win95 install, it may be worth
trying the service pack to update it to Win95A.
