Subject: Linux/Dos Networking.. Possible?

This is a simple idea but I don't know if/when/ever Linux supports this..

Is their a way to have a DOS machine on a Network (EtherNet or TCP/IP) to
mount a Linux Partition (Read and Write).?

The reason I ask is that a company I work with wants to set-up a Network
(which will eventually interface into the Internet) and I want to see if we
could use a Linux machine as the fileserver. (I prefer Unix to DOS 8)

I know Linux <-> Linux is possible but Linux <-> Dos ???

Any help would be appreciated.. If this is possibly then I guess I will have
to begin designing the network topology about it.. :)
