The Netdrive Samba plugin has been updated to 1.5 beta (based upon Samba 
Version 3.0.34 library code) on the Netlabs.org FTP server.
http://us3.samba.org/samba/ Samba is a free implementation of the 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block CIFS/SMB protocol for 
Unix, which allows LAN-Server style file and printer sharing among machines 
running Windows, Mac OS X ,Unix or eComStation (OS/2). There is a  netlabs 
http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml based effort to port the Samba 
server and create Samba clients for file sharing and printing for eCS 
(OS/2) in order to replace the functionality of the outdated 
IBM-LAN-Requester/Peer/Server components.

The version 1.5 beta plugin has various improvements over the final 1.0 
plugin released earlier:
  - It is much faster.
  - It is more stable than 1.0 plugin.
  - It requires less shared memory (therefore improving overall system 
stability).
  - All current development efforts go into the 1.5 version.

It is strongly recommended to use the 1.5 beta version of the plugin and 
not the 1.0 plugin anymore. Numerous problems and bugs that were already 
fixed in the 1.5 beta version are still present in the 1.0 version plugin.
