Yes. With 10.2, you can connect to a windows "samba" or "network neighborhood" server. Well, you could do it with 10.1 but it was a (somewhat) pain. 10.2 automatically shows them up on the list on "connect to server" (think chooser). There is also "dave" and mac2pclan (sp?). With both, you can access windows machines under os9. The main difference is the cost (I think a few hundred) and what it does - dave is for one "client" - mac2pclan is for an entire network. It takes all of the windows machines on the network and creates aliases/links to them using appletalk. A bit of a run-around but then only the middle-man needs extra software. I also suggest going to www.macwindows.com, which has lots of info on this kind of stuff. thanks, Ian -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
