Ed, how would you rate reliability and performance vs NT 4? In the past, I've heard horror stories about trying to use a Win95/98 box as a file server, but NT workstation and NT server do very well. I'm considering getting one of these shoebox servers (Snap! or Linksys) and using it as a file server for some Win95/98 clients who'll be running VFP as well as VB/Jet apps. Thanks for your thoughts.
