Hello Jeff,

I have zero experience with NT, but, Microsoft seems to moving toward
phasing out their Windows 9x family and focusing on NT variants.  I suspect
it will always be more of the same no matter what Microsoft calls it.
Anyway, having never really evaluated NT, I'll leave that argument to those
of us who have.  However, I would like to point out that there are FTP
servers, very good ones I might add, available for little or no charge that
run on Windows98.  The one I use is called WFTPD.

73,
