Yes, it is possible, though server applications would be better 
written as pure OS/2 code, rather than Windows apps. Running Windows 
apps on a Notes server machine is going to steal CPU cycles and 
memory from the Notes server. Nothing special is needed; just install 
OS/2, install NTS/2 or LAN Server, install Notes server, install other
stuff and run.

You need Visual BASIC, MS Office, Approach, etc., and in the case of 
OS/2 for Windows or Warp redspine, a copy of Windows. Nothing else 
required. I've run all the MS stuff mentioned without problems.

Don't foresee any problems there, unless it has a funny E-IDE 
controller, and even that can be worked around.
