Fuchi, If you are upgrading your Novell network, I can share some of my experiences. I upgraded the network at my wife's company. We upped the memory on the server from 16 MB to 128 MB, replaced most of the Ethernet networks with Fast Ethernet and changed the main hub to 3COM SuperStack II 3000 100/10 switch. The resulting performance is like night and day. The server stayed the same (an old Pentium 100), and it is not challenged at all. Unless your server is really underpowered, you will gain more performance upgrading the network hardware, rather than the server. Of course it depends on the network. Just check the CPU utilization. The switch was $2,179. It has 12 ports. So cost per port is only a little over $180 plus some $85 for 3com 905 Fast Ethernet cards (you can get cheaper cards from Taiwanese vendors) Joe
