Thanks William... good to know and I?ll go download it.
Yes, I "think" ExtremeZ-IP may have its own devices for long files
names but they have not answered that question yet. I intend to test
it today.

The issue may be mute. I misread the price for ten users (we have 8 or
9 users in a 50 user office) and see the corrected cost would be near
the price of a Mac Server... so we are weighing those two options. The
Server would work well with our users, I?m TRYING to determine how it
would interface with our NT/Win2K Network (soon to be just Win2K/2003
Srvrs) so not sure
which way to jump...

Thanks for any input...
