Thanks for the info everyone... we've decided not to use one of the Vectras as our server, and just put up with the old Pentium job, with a nice vanilla flavored net card. We _do_ have a 100VG hub, and my gut reaction would be 'Yes! Great! Let's start writing!', but we can't justify the time, since we spent two wasted months thanks to Microsoft's erroneous documentation.. :( Maybe later in the year, when things quiet down a bit, I'll be able to persuade the powers-that-be to let me use one of the machines as an experimental server.
