Jack, <<The only problem I see is the damn princing strategy of MS, The NT "mini version" sells for $280 and the server (who wouldn't want that one?) sells for about $700! (a tough one to swallow…)>> NT can be confusing at first look. I don't believe you will need the NTAS (NT Advanced Server) version to run 3DS. That version is for enterprise style networks. The "Workstation" version, your "mini version," is really what you should need. You get the full networking capability of a client on most networks, including Novell as well as built in TCP/IP and other good things. I got a disk from MS some time ago called Windows NT Evaluation Guide. It is about 1.2 megs of help style files. You might be able to get a copy from MS. It may even be over on the NT forum. If no one can find it I'll upload it to the libraries. (Jonas???) Fred
