Thank you in advance. >| Vassilis Megalooikonomou : Systems Administrator | How about telling us a little more about your environment. Why are you comparing Vines 386 to NetWare 286. Shouldn't NetWare 386 be in the running too? Vines has a very good global naming service. Vines is best on large internetworks. NetWare has 70% of the installed base of LANs. If you want performance, and support, and the greatest variety of third party add-ins, then NetWare is for you.
