I have been tasked with networking a small office (5PC's). I was
thinking of going with an NT server with the PC's using WFW, cost
being a primary consideration. 90% of the net use will be peer to
peer, i.e. sharing files, printers. There will be one DOS application
residing on the server used by everyone. The only glitch so far is
that my clinent wishes to have two dumb terminals hooked up to the
network and I have never done this before. I was aIso asked if there
is a way to provide all usere access to a fax/modem on the server
while maintaining a stand alone fax machine on the same phone line.
Ihave a few questions if someone is willing to assist.

1) Can a dumb terminal/keyboard be used on an NT network using NetBeui
protocol?

2) What hardware/software is required to tie in the terminal/keyboard
to the network?

3) Who offers reasonably priced terminals these days?

4) In reguards to the fax situation. Is there a software or hardware
solution to the problem of two devices using the same phone line?

Any assistance would be grately appreciated. If you have any documents
which may help me you can E-Mail them. Again, thank you.
