Do we have tools other than Konqueror that are aware of smb/UNK

Before you answer please note that:
I know about ssh
I know about fuse
I know about mount -tcifs
I'd really like to be able to use UNK addressing from the cmd line.
cd //host/share
I don't now how many of you have noticed but bash shell from cygwin on
windows has that capability built in. Or maybe it comes from windows
env.
You can do `cd //linux-host/share' in a bash terminal
If command line smb/UNK is not on without lots of diddling around, what
about some file managing tool that does it like Konqueror does.
Emacs is said to be able to do this using tramp but I haven't ever
gotten it to work.
Konqueror can do it... but I don't run kde, and don't really want to
fiddle with it in that direction.
Midnight Commander can do it.
Nifty, I didn't know that. Amazing what mc can do. Couple of points
that are not obvious in case Harry wants to try mc: it needs to be
compiled with the samba USE flag set; and you access your samba shares
using the "Right" or "Left" dropdown menus at the top of the mc window.
This function of mc (being an old app) I'm guessing is what inspired
the similar functions in konqueror and nautilus, but I'm not sure about
the order of events.
Thanks for the tip.
