Yes.  I've gotten used to smbclient now - transfer anything I need to my
side of the connection.  About the only thing I need this for is to burn
cds.  My older cdwriter package won't install on #@!% WinXP, and I'm too
cheap to buy a new one.  Also, I still have Win98 on this machine, so I
can always boot that up if I can't get to the files any other way.
