No. The closest you can get is a failover solution which makes two computer work with one IP and when the primary fails the secondary picks up. This solution however does not handle data synchronization between the two machines like SFT III it only handles allowing the secondary to start responding. > all buffers without closing tables, so data on netserver will be in > sync with data in workstation memory.

You can do a procedural type of syncing, but thas has nothing to do with FreeBSD. If interested write to me and I will write when I come back (going away for a few days). > I'm trying to build system which will work without me. If you are using Foxpro for DOS there is no way to make a system so that if your primary server goes down the secondary will pick up without your intervention.
