Very much thanks to everyone for advice & feedback, it is very helpful!
I beg your pardon, 'hacked' is the wrong word. 'Installed a translator' is probably more accurate.

Thank you for the offer of help if we wish to stay with Windows server, but we're content to try ScientificLinux instead.

That sounds bad. How is it detected if the Win2K IBM AFS 3.5 server has been patched? All its files in C:\Program Files\IBM\AFS\Server\usr\afs\bin are dated 17 Aug 2001. C:\Program Files\IBM\AFS is all dated 18 Feb 2003. So - likely unpatched. The AFS server won't report its version info, rxdebug -version says AFS version: CML not accessible: No version information > IBM did release updates to the Windows product since > the ubik bug was fixed. Where could one find this patch + instructions for installing it? Sending much gratitude to you all!
