    Has anyone first-hand experience setting up a WORM as a file system 
on a LAN file server?  A friend wants to set up a statistical research 
lab with a large database stored on WORM cartridges, which can be 
accessed by students at several workstations.

    The specific WORM and LAN systems are negotiable.  Most vendors I 
talk to claim putting a WORM on a LAN is simple, but none seem to have 
done it, nor do they know directly of anyone who has actually set up such 
a network.  The manufacturers seem less enthusiastic, and Novell flatly 
stated that Advanced NetWare will not support WORMs or CD ROMs.
