Networking help.
I have 2 jobs. At both jobs we have a network server environment. 

Heres the senerio. 
Job #1 
The server is a 486/33 24 ram /win 95. 
It serves pagemaker, M$ Word, and pcx files. It is also our print server.
The 3 clients are 486/60 - 486/100 we are on a coax daisy chain. 
Usually only one person is connected to the server at a time

Job #2 
The server is a 7300/200 48 meg OS8. 
We dont have appleshare IP 5.0 just the SW that comes with OS8  
It serves pagemaker, M$ Word, and tiff files. It is NOT set up as a print
server. 
The 3 clients are 7300/200 48 meg. 
We are on a appletalk 10baseT network. 
Usually only one person is connected to the server at a time 

We leave all the files on the server and work on them 
from our client machines at both jobs.

The problem is that the apple server SUCKS!!! 
It is super SLOW!!! The win 95 server at job #1 blows this apple server
away!!! 
I don't know what to do... i almost feel like we should buy a cheap NT box
to serve files. 
Would it be faster if we used TPC/IP instead of appletalk? 
How do i set that up? 
I couldn't find any info about at apple.com or anywhere else on the web. 

Please any suggestions would be appreciate it =)
