	I would like to mention our experience with uShare on Sun systems.
First of all, it works well.  We don't use some of the more advanced
features.  But, every once in a while, one of the mac processes on the
Sun server goes wild.  It starts taking up about 90% of the CPU time.
And IPT says they will not be doing upgrades for our system, OS 3.5.  
Oh well.

	Maybe I missed it, but would somebody tell me what the IPT  
Personal Server Network is?  Just a brief description of what it is
and what it does will be fine.  

Thanks
