I forgot to mention that we run our Macs off an NT network.  The MacPrefect
program is actually just an extension, which runs locally and doesn't seem
to cause any problem or interference with the NT server.

The FoolProof machines I'm testing are stand alones, but again it's just a
tiny program, so I doubt it causes any interference.
