I'll check into this and post more detailed info. I just did a NetWare 6
class at Novell, and all they use is recent laptops. I'm just trying to find
out what the lowest (cheapest on eBay) level of Thinkpad hardware would suit
this task. I have several wonderful old 701s which will soon be upgraded to
Pentium 75-class. They make wonderful writing machines, but not practice
servers.
