I got a quote of : $1295 for a 10 user license. $129.50 per user seems extremely reasonable to me. Unless you really need NFS (ie: your server is VMS) then 129.50 per user is about 129.50 per user too much. You should check out Samba which has the following features: * Mounting of Unix file systems * Fast * User level mount security * FREE!!! * requires no client software for Win95 or NT * Free client software to WFW from ftp.microsoft.com * Passive client backups from Unix (only thing the PC requires to be done is sharing the disk. No client backup apps) * Backups are in tar format. -- -- Darryl Wagoner darryl@sai.com http://www.sai.com/ Office: 603.672.0736 Fax: 603-672-4846 Web Pages for hire.
