Just wanted to thank you all for the replies. You have all helped to make my
life a little easier. I've been messing with this stuff for about three or four
weeks now and its been interresting to say the least.

Thanks again.

One more little thing. I've been messing with netware connect and due to my
limited funds have been using a 14.4 modem on the server since its the only
dos/netware applicable modem I have. I've been trying to remotely connect but
the only other modems I have are 56.6 winmodems. Unfortunetly I have been able
to make a solid connection to the network. I've been told that this is becuase
I'm using a 56.6 to dial into a 14.4. What's your ideas? I'm hoping to upgrade
it this week end to a 36.6.

Thanks.
