[K12OSN] Netware Network

["Terrell Prudé, Jr."]

Seconded, unfortunately.  Two years ago I had to do the same kind of 
thing in a "Windows shop."

BTW, my K12LTSP setup was finally found out about and removed.  It is no 
more.  Twenty-five new Pentium 2.8GHz machines with 256MB DRAM running 
Windows XP and MS Office have taken its place.  Fortunately, I was not 
implicated in this "crime", which is why I can never and will never name 
the school.

Two years...trouble free...loved by the kids, principal, and eventually 
teachers alike...it was a good run.
