>BTW, what OS are you running? And why can't you have a dedicated server? Is the network a LAN or WAN?
OS is NT (for now) on a Lan TCP/IP interface to PLCs (GE Fanuc, Allen-Bradley, etc.) No server because we don't want it. Where do you put it? Say you have 9 control panels in Uzbekistan. Which panel do you put it in? What if they cut power to that panel? Do you put it in its own enclosure ($10,000 for the box + shipping cost from Houston to to the other end of the earth). What if the server fails? We need redundancy now 2 servers. Dedicated servers are a last resort -- this is not an office environment.
