Why not just run Netware 3.11, it's about the same age, about as secure,
about the same functionality....or....welcome yourself into 2005 and run
a current OS.  NT4 is history, Micro$oft knows that, everyone else
should also....

manufacturer might be willing to discount aggressively if it can gain a
large competitive win or keep a competitor out.

But how can they do that? Its all very well having support, but if they
cant fix the problems, whats the point? Am I missing something here?
