[SATLUG] Quick question about AIX and Windows interaction

[koflanagan at satx.rr.com]

AIX does support cifs, but i need bos.cifs_fs.rte.  So now I have to 
find the download which will probably be the hard part.  That's if they 
have the bos.cifs_fs.rte for AIX 5.1 and upgrading isn't an option :(
Anyone hiring?!?!? lol
