Not on a system that needs to move data fast...DAVE is slow.
However, the point is, on a Unix server, there really is no need
whatsoever to kludge clients into using client software they're not
optimized for, as there are 'native' options for the server for all of
them.
Dave is invaluable when you have no other choice, but having used both
DAVE and Services for Macintosh on the same Win2K server, there is no
contest. The server-side stuff is way faster.
