7.0 on a Plus?  From a *file server*?  You must be out of your mind-- 
7.0 runs like a snail on a Plus, even from a local hard drive.  Running 
7.0 from a Plus-- off a *file server* would be rather like throwing the 
Mac through a vat of molasses: possible in theory, but not a terribly 
useful idea in practice...
