That's one advantage. There are _numerous_ other advantages. I'd say
that being able to mount not just the NT with Mac services but _any_
Windows95/98/NT shared volume on the network is pretty advantageous. In
addition, DAVE 2.0 is bidirectional. It let's you set up shared folders
on the Mac so that other Windows based network citizens can seamlessly
access your Mac files. If you have a few Macs in a Windows-centric
workplace, DAVE is the way to go. If it's the other way around, you
might want to look at a product like COPSTalk.
