Hi Karen, If they don't want to spend money, here is a way to ween them off of Novell: Set up a peer to peer windows network. Make one of their workstations a server and copy the database to that station. Then eventually you can reformat their server and make it a Windows server. But if it is as old as Novell, then it probably doesn't have enough memory.
Well anyways -- food for thought.

Yes this probably is a "really old" Novell OS. But you're saying that I can use Terminal Services on a windows workstation that is on the network? I wasn't sure sure if TS needed to be on a server or whether the server-side could actually be on a workstation. If that's the case, would the TS server-side already be available on an XP workstation? Thanks for the help, and please excuse the probable misuse of terminology.... Karen << Can I use Terminal Services on a server with Novell? Or is there any other option? Even something like logmein or gotomypc would allow only one person to enter into one computer, right? >> If this is really an old Novell network, running the Novell OS, no "normal" remote connection software could be run on the server. You would have to seek an old Novell-specific solution, and I can't remember such a thing existing. If you want to use Windows based remote connection of any kind you'd need to provide access to a Windows workstation on the same network and "remotely" administer the server from that machine. -- Larry
