-
- OK, in our case we have 14 Novell file servers scattered
- around campus, with a cc:Mail post office on each. I would be hesitant
- to put 350-400 Macs on any one machine no matter what it was. And
- Novell file servers can be used for things other than just mail, but
- then so can most of the other solutions presented.
