ewelch: as a Network Admin in a mid-size cross platform environment (150 servers running W2K and osX server, 6000 workstations, 30% Macs, the rest win98 and w2k pro) and I do indeed, know what I am talking about. Dave is not needed, nor has it been for quite some time. There are far better ways of accomplishing cross-platform networking for far less money, sure, there are limitations, but free is a greater motivator for us than elegance. Previous versions also had quite intensive licensing management, hopefully, that has been fixed.
