Just the facts: Appleshare 2.x will not run if you install system 7 on the server machine. Leave 6.0x on the server. Appleshare WILL service both 6.0 and 7.0 clients, no problems at all... The only important thing is to upgrade everyone to the printer drivers that come with system 7, they work well under system 6. Hey trust me, I've got system 7.0b4 and a network-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Michael Perrone, Macintosh Programmer | | Portland State University | | Office of Computing and Information Services | | Microcomputer and Administrative Systems Services | | Bitnet: a2mp@psuoradm.bitnet | | Internet: a2mp@psuoradm.cc.pdx.edu | | Voice: (503) 725-3112 | | Address: P.O.

hi, Did you realise that under 7.0 EVERY Mac can be a server WITHOUT AppleShare Server Software??? It comes with the system FREE and, hey, it looks GOOD. So I suppose you simply install sys 7.0 on your server and throw away AppleShare Server software. And you even can use your mac server for doing other tasks as well... Heaven on earth... !? I don't know any reason why that shouldn't work with all software running on AppleShare file servers. (Mailsystems, Printserver ...) Oliver.

(Mailsystems, Printserver ...) System 7 file sharing is very nice, but it won't replace high use AppleShare servers since it limits the number of concurrent users to a relatively small number (forgot exactly). You'll still want AppleShare for servers that have a high number of users. And the new version of AppleShare is rumored to include a number of goodies like remote booting support and such. -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE
