I believe this is controlled by the USEUNICODEFILENAMES parameter. I am not
certain, (test it yourself), but you would need to set up two clients on your
server, one DSM.OPT containing USEUNICODEFILENAMES YES; LANG AMENG; and
EXCLUDE.DIR all the NT directories. And one DSM.OPT containing
USEUNICODEFILENAMES NO; and EXCLUDE.DIR all Mac directories.
This means, of course, 2 client licenses per box.
