    We have a few Win98 computers in four or our five Macintosh-based schools.
    Each of these schools has multiple ASIP 6 servers. Our choices for setting
    up file sharing and storage for these few Win98 machines are limited to [1]
    setting up SMB for Windows on the ASIP servers, [2] purchasing a product
    like TSSTalk or PCMacLAN for enabling the ASIP servers to be visible in the
    WIn98 network neighborhood or [3] setting up file sharing across the WAN to
    the Novell servers at a different school.

    We're trying method [1] and not having much luck with it.

    Method [2] will cost <$100 per user, regardless of choice.

    Method [3] would be slower since we'd be pushing traffic over 1.544 MB T1
    lines rather than over a 10/100 network.

    Any thoughts or experiences doing this?
