Hello Len
Thanks for the input. I am a bit confused by the
reccomendation for NT WS. My understanding is that
MS limits NT WS4.0 to 10 IP connections at a single
time. Does this not limit availability ? I just
read an article yesterday where IP switch was reviwed
and their choice between NT4.0 and MS2000 was NT4.0
so I am going that route for now. If they wont run
under MS2000 for a product review then I wont either.
MHO
As far a the 2 disk drives i don't follow the second
drive structure
e: user1
f: user2
ditto
Could you spell it out for me ? I must be thick today !
I have been watching the list and would like to offer
my thanks to you for all of your input to the list.
I am also going to install the IMGATE because I am
familiar with RED HAT as well as Free BSD. I was
wondering if it will run under Mandrake as well ?
Thanks,
Chris
