The Mac could never even come close to doing what a Unix box can do as an all around Internet server. The Mac would probably have a hard time handling hundreds of listserv groups with *heavy* traffic, but for us, it works like a charm! Also, the maintenance sure beats pounding away on a Unix box. You can deny it all you want, but our Mac listserver (freeware) works great for us!! David G. Cannon
