I had some files on Win98SE with foreign characters that never even showed up in listings through SMB on the Linux box. I ended up just renaming them.

Linux should know they're all UTF-16, and your local system ought to be identified by itself. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
