Hardwarewise, you will need to purchase a server and lash together your
existing couputers together with Ethernet UTP LAN that uses a hub. I
agree with one of the other posts that WIN NT is a better solution than
Novell. Novell is too clunky and is designed for larger orgainizations. 

You will also need Proxy Server software such as Wingate or Artisoft's
Comshare to provide Internet and Email access to students. A 56k modem
would be the cheapest way to go, but a cable modem would be faster.
