Take a look at vianca Standby server, It's installed at a site we just
aquired. I have'nt had a chance to test it, but since they had installed it
on a mac-only network, (other than these NT servers, of course). If it doees
not work well, I'll have to look for other solutions also.

(I plan on testing it as soon as I have some time, since this is a newspaper
and I need to be sure.)
