Dear Sunil, 

It's a little complex but you can do it. First of all, you have to make
the floppy drive of the node a share. Now use Samba to mount this share
(floppy drive) on some dir say /mnt/smb/flp. for mounting use 
$ smbmount //machine_name/share_name /mnt/smb/flp
Now in the Attchmnt part of the header of pine, specify full path to the
file as /mnt/smb/flp/further_path_to_file.

Hope I am clear.

Manas
