Don't use token ring? Sorry, couldn't resist. I dunno, I guess the PCs are on an ethernet LAN running IP for P2P file-sharing so would support your web application and samba shares. What other networking do you anticipate? I suppose you might want to setup a mail server and the likes and they could currently use some horrible AS/400 based mail system.

Queries etc are done purely on the client, perhaps using Excel as the client interface Now they know they have to replace this stuff, and I'm pretty sure a Linux box with Samba would handle the file storage, and I'd investigate transferring data to MySQL if possible, with more server side processing.
