An alternative would be to purchase an AppleTalk protocol stack to run on
the NT Workstations. Something like PC-Mac LAN from Miramar Systems
(http://www.miramarsys.com/products/ntover.htm) should do the trick. This
will allow you to avoid any hassles with NT Licensing (i.e. per seat or per
server) and learning to administer a new Network Operating System (NOS)
The cost of a 10-pack of licenses for PC-Mac LAN would be less than the cost
of a new server, admin time to setup and learn the new server, and the cost
of a "per server" NT license.
