RE: Client access in a W2000 Domain

["Shaw, Dave" <dshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joan,

I can appreciate where you're coming from.  But, on the other hand, I also
have to appreciate the viewpoints of those who ask "What is this doing on a
list about MAPICS?  This is a waste of my time".  In addition, the
questioner is MUCH more likely to get a solution in the Midrange-L forum
than here, both because of the different focus of the forum and the much
larger subscriber base.  Also, our host, David Gibbs, is a strong proponent
of keeping the lists he hosts on topic as much as possible for these reasons
and also because the archive search functions can be focused better.  As you
should have observed in the past, I try not to be too strict about sticking
to topic, but this one is quite a bit further off topic than any we've had
in a while.

Dave,

What is one person's "off-topic" might be another person's "heads up!"

I don't read midrange-l (probably should, I know). Like the "MAPICS
Conference" vs "COMMON" debate, I only have a limited amount of resources
(in this case, time) and therefore have to choose what I participate in and
what I ignore. Info like in this W2K message gives me a nice heads up that
there are other problems ahead. Now I know to go searching for info when
that sad day arrives that I have to give up the stability of NetWare and
install Win2K.

Yes, this discussion probably shouldn't go on and on and on... on the MAPICS
list, but the initial comments are welcomed, at least by me.

Thanks -- Joan
