I found on their webpage something about contacting the nearest sales office, 
which I always hate doing. Any time I have to give a name and phone number to 
a salesman, I either find another way to do it, or give up. |-}

Yes, very antique 5-user system in a church parish house. I just 'repaired' 
one of their nodes by unplugging the 40-meg Seagate SCSI drive that wasn't 
spinning up anymore, and made them a boot floppy for the machine. I think the 
server is a 386/20 or so, and about 120M drive. They're running WordPerfect 
and sharing a printer, and that's about all they're doing with it. Now one 
person has Netscape at home, and thinks everyone should have it, plus email 
accounts for everyone. That's where I started thinking 'intranetware' instead 
of 'small upgrade'. |-} I may just choose to tell them "can't be done cheaply 
and easily" and see how strong their enthusiasm is...
