I have tested it, way back in 2001 because I had a Linux server (running 
SAMBA) on which were located all the Paradox tables and  the NET file. 
Nothing else. This SAMBA share was shared as a W drive, and all the 
users (20) shared this drive for databases. As Steven said, it's just 
another network drive. That is, if you have SAMBA installed.If not, 
you're dreaming the impossible dream. You need Server Message Block for 
networking.
