[PLUG] Extended characters over Samba

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

I use é a lot in my file and directory.  Each of the Win98/fat32 and 
Linux/ext3 machines doesn't have a problem with files and directories 
created by the local machine with these letters, but when accessing a 
share that contains a file or directory with that name, both choke, 
substituting a box or a ? for the accented character.

Is there a solution that aids compatibility?
