I think that this problem is a bit of a myth. Experience with these software vendors shows that they can all to readily blame your network anyway. Often the client will get best support if you troubleshoot the problem yourself (being familiar with the entire setup) rather than some lame MYOB tech who only knows about the MYOB manuals. Running a Linux server probably just means you get involved a bit earlier in the support process. I'm pretty sure a recent version of samba can pretty much completely emulate an NT 4 file server barring some domain controller functions. Just tell you client to call you first then MYOB second - you should be able to tell the difference between an MYOB problem and a network problem. Hey if they get really stuck, get em to call us :) Thanks, Dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
