THe clients I have who want to run c-s systems rather than host-based are being told the same thing; go NT as a first choice. Win 95 is still (IMO) flaky w.r.t. NT though I won't argue about its superiority to Win 3.x. So I have no problem with a NT/95 only port of NE. Rather have this and it working really well than crammed into that crap called Windows 3.x and dying regularly. Peter Wiley
