We run netware 3.01 on a 967 with MPE 4.0. With MPE 5.0 (and maybe 4.5?) you get netware 3.11 on top of posix, which I don't know about. In my experience, there are good things and bad things about having netware on the same box. :-) Good things: HP support (although it's not as good as for MPE) Sharing printers between MPE and PC's There is very little to configure with netware on MPE vs netware on a PC. Netware on MPE seems more stable to me. Bad things: No NLMs Netware sometimes grabs a significant percent of the cpu (deleting subdirectories with large number of files, for example.) When the HP is down, everything is down. Control of print queues doesn't work well--it all ends up in the MPE spooler where you can't tell who belongs to what. If I had to do it again, I'd be torn which way I'd go. I think if you need very stable, with little netware expertise required, I'd put it on the HP. If you want a little more flash and excitement (and more options) I'd go PC. Chris -- christopher michael, george s. may international, 708-825-8806 x 395
