Jeff,
I don't want to argue this point.  My original comment was based on a rule of 
thumb that many folks use, 16 megs per gig of disk.  I've seen some folks use 
10 megs per gig of disk.
The latest tool that uses the latest formula says 32 megs is the absolute 
minimum for Netware 3.12 and 4 gigs of disk, assuming 50 clients and 40,000 
files.
