Let the NetWare server do his work and just add FreeBSD machine for email, althought I don't know what you mean about intranet services. If you have firm plan to replace Netware with FreeBSD, then better let the Netware server stay for some time so you can play with samba and other tools you can need to replace Netware. Do it in a smooth way, otherwise you can lose some services for some time; if that doesn't matter then just do it :) > Basically, I need the server to do the same thing it is doing now, but > with the addition of intranet and email services.
