Since Windows 95 comes with TCP/IP stack, file, and printer sharing capabilities, why would a network need a Novell Netware server? Moreover, FreeBSD supports samba, why would a network need a Novell Netware server? Is there any technical advantages which IPX over TCP/IP? -- Yours truly, Tony Tam Imperial Irrigation District P.O.
