NTFS filesystem support for Linux?

Sorry if this is a repost but I waited a couple of days without seeing
my original
message posted on the list.

Anyway, a very simple question from a newcomer on this list.

I have a dual boot Linux 1.3.98 / Windows NT 3.51 installation
(ok, shame on me, but please don't start a flame war asking me why
should
I have WNT installed on my machine :-) )
I am quite happy since NTLDR.COM behaves nicely with respect to my
MBR and I can have lilo boot either linux or NT.

I would also like, however, to have access to the NTFS disk on
the system. Is this possible? Or, I should say, is somebody
working on that? I guess it's not a straightforward thing
and not many people want it in the first place...

thanks
