Toy - "Will be available"? When? For who? To anyone who wants to buy it, in 1Q99 or early 2Q99. If it were possible, would you not think that they would have done it. They HAVE done it, that's what I'm trying to tell you. A wide variety of products based on this configuration will be available in 1H99. BTY way, it is possible, its called NW3.X. In fact one can operate NW4 in 16MB of RAM right now. True - I work with a client who has a 3xx server on a 386 machine with 16MB RAM and it still does the job it was installed to do in the early 1990's. But those platforms are inadequate for anything but file and print support. The Embedded NT will also do applications support with a full range of services, something Netware has never been able to reliably accomplish. Where are the Novell Database servers (remember the abortive Oracle systems on Novell)? Where are the ERP systems, the workstation farms, the CAD systems? Let's remember what Netware can and can not do.
