        Yeah, don't touch Novell with a 100 foot pole! It's
outdated, it's ugly and there's really no reason is 1999/2000 to be
using it!!

        As far as NT vs. AShare/IP, it's a tradeoff since NT can
share Mac and AShare/IP can share Wintel - HOWEVER, since NT 4.x only
does AppleTalk sharing while AShare/IP does IP-based sharing, that's
a BIG win for your Mac users in terms of sharing performance.
