Found this wonderful site which covers Macintosh Networking from OS 6 to OS X. I'd say this is the most comprehensive site I've ever seen on Macintosh Networking. It covers Mac To Mac, PC to Mac, sharing files, sharing printers, sharing Internet connections, the works.

To get Samba on a Classic OS seems to need 3rd party non-free software. However, netatalk can be run on Linux/BSD so if you can get the two Macs to talk you should be able to set something up on the Linux server to get files through it. Macs can do AppleTalk as either LocalTalk (serial ports) or EtherTalk (ethernet) and also AppleTalk IP. You'll need to set the 8.1machine up for AppleTalk over ethernet.

The PowerMac is running OS 8.1, hence my confusion. All of the information I've been able to Google covers OS 8.5 or higher.
My brother-in-law says he might be able to find the original OS 8.1 CDs if something needs to be on the computer that isn't.
I am under the impression that there is no version of Samba for OS 8.1, or that it was unable to connect to a SMB/CIFS share.
