I am a very happy WFWG3.11 and TP user on my home system, but the office 
where I work wishes to setup an internet access on a NT4 server with 10 
W95 clients via Demon.

The W95 systems all run Office97 as the primary package, with various 
other packages (which don't need net access).

Given that Office97 comes with Outlook can we use this along with the 
other 'free' W95/NT software for all our Mail and News needs. The modem 
is connected to the NT server.

We have purchased a single-user copy of TP, with the option to upgrade 
to a multi-user version, but I am not sure this is the right route.

Do we have to buy MS Exchange Server (985+vat)? or can we use the 
existing software we have?

Or is it better to start again.

The WIBNI's (wouldn't it be nice if) that would be nice are:-

All clients having WWW & FTP access.
An internal email system
All clients having a Fax access

Any help would be appreciated as I know very little about NT4 and of 
course it comes with MS documentation (bugger all !!).

This is also my home email address, as SP2 has now screwed up RAS oh 
well off to MS fix pages now.

Thanks in advance,
