[WinMac] Performance of Windows 95/98 on ASIP6.*

I've been contacted by the director of a school being built. They are in
temporary quarters now. They have about 200 iBooks and iMacs. Their
consultants have recommended an NT server (which they haven't yet gotten to
work as a Mac server) because the school will also be getting about an equal
number of PCs for their higher grades.

I have suggested that ASIP6 would be a much better choice as a server for the
usual reasons. They said that there will be performance problems for the PCs
using an Apple server (I think they mean both hardware and software).

I scoured the archives of this list for some clues on the performance issue. I
wasn't able to find much except that NT does not currently support IP
connections from Macs and that Macs perform better using ASIP6.

Does anyone have any experience using PCs on ASIP6 using SMB? More to the
point, has anyone come up with any performance comparisons?

I'd appreciate any help on this - I'd really like to see them go with ASIP6 to
avoid spending many $ trying to support NT (and this consulting firm).

Thanks!
