Is that similar to Wine, or something different? I do want to try to run my ISP's mail/news handling software on a Linux box.
No no not at all, Samba is a Linux equivalent of File Print sharing on Windows. It can act as a client or a server and pretty much do everything you would want to do involving connecting to/making available Windows file and print shares.
To run your ISP mail/news handling software it does sound like you want to be trying to use wine. Wine's compatibility is variable depending on what side of the Microsoft EULA you like to sit but I have managed to get some fairly complicated software running well in the past.
