I doubt that I was the person you were talking about, but here we run 13 SE's
with 20-Meg hard drives, off of a SE/30 server running AppleShare.  As a front-
end to the applications, we have a HyperCard stack that is shared by all of the
SE's.  A copy of the HyperCard application has to reside on the boot disk
(and we have it set as the startup application) for this to work; otherwise
Finder won't know where to FInd it. :-)  It may be possible, if you can get the
AppleShare volume to mount, and convince the Finder to take a look at it, so
it remembers where HyperCard is, but I'm not sure how to do this...

(Our 'home' stack is actually a very small stack that mounts the AppleShare
volume, and then runs a stack called "Main" that lives on the server..)
