RE: Want to replace Nt server

In my opinion, unless there is a big reason why, you should keep your files
on a PC-based server. Reason? Disk space is cheaper.

I'd start by looking at the IFS and NetServer docs.  I've never worked in an
environment without some sort of pc server, but it seems like the 400 could
be the server you log into.  One caveat is that the IFS can be a bit slower
than a PC file server.  You'll only see that with fairly large files.

My drive mappings persist on my pc, and I think that's normal.  It would be
trickier if you wanted anyone to see the right mappings from any PC on the
network.

The IFS is really cool and AFAIK, hardly anyone uses it much.
