Adam,

Many companies choose the Windows 'standard' computer, and many
companies' network managers won't allow the Services for Macintosh
software to be installed on there Windows NT Server. For users in that
type of environment, DAVE is a godsend.

Also, if the environment is more peer-to-peer instead of client-server,
the products DAVE, PC MacLan, and COPSTalk allow communications. Without
Windows NT Server and Services for Macintosh, these programs allow
Windows 95/98 and Macintoshes to communicate in both directions.
