Just a comment: We've been very successful sharing ebase 1.0 in a peer-peer setup. We don't have FMP Server and our ebase "server" is just a plain Win98 PC running FMP 4.1 and TCP-IP. We have up to 6 users using ebase simultaneously and it's been VERY stable. This same "server" also does double duty as our primary file and print server. Its stability increased A LOT when we went from 64 to 256 MB RAM. Huge difference. When it does crash or we have a power outage, an ebase file may get corrupted (usually not), and FMP has almost always been able to recover it (we do data backups every night, also). This "server" also has RAID 1 or 0 (I can never remember which) and that may help make it stable; one of you tech wizards may be able to comment on that.
