- Windows NT's built-in networking is designed to co-exist concurrently with
- any other networking software.

- Novell announced last fall comdex that they were working on Windows NT
- client software, and talked about their APIs in detail at our Win32
- conference. Banyan have also said they're working on Windows NT client
- support. I have repeatedly posted that various ISVs are working on
- nfs client support for Windows NT - I run the 3rd party connectivity group,
- so I should know! I have to leave it to each of the vendors concerned to
- make their own announcements of delivery dates and beta test dates etc,
- but I know they're each calling our group regularly, and showing
- suitable progress! -- Alistair
