SBS 4.0 was horrible, SBS 4.5 is OK (ie it works). You still have to have
all your ducks lined up to get a quick install (basically means compatible
modem and Fax then it's sweet).

I have used SBS before and found it to be horrible - the setup differs
from what any sane NTS admin would use.
We used the modem sharing on SBS & it worked OK, but you might as well
just buy a few 14.4/Fax modems (I have one I will swap for beer <g>) &
stick them on a couple of machines.
