Well, it was nice of you to recommend something one message ago that you have 
now stopped using because "it isn't that great."

NetWare supported "non-dedicated" server operation in their 2.x series, which 
ended with 2.2.  I strongly recommend against trying to use something that 
old.
You can run NetWare servers in non-dedicated mode, even right up to the 
latest 4.11, if you run them under OS/2.  It is a little-known option that 
NetWare servers can operate as OS/2 processes, allowing client operation on 
the OS/2 side of the machine.  This is an installation option.
If you don't use NetWare, you usually end up with a non-dedicated server.  
Both OS/2 Warp Server and NT Server only operate in non-dedicated mode, and 
they are the major competitors to NetWare.  OS/2 Warp, NT Workstation, 
Windows 95, and Windows for Workgroups 3.1x all support peer servers in 
non-dedicated mode.  Caldera OpenDOS, the successor to Novell DOS and DR DOS, 
also supports peer server operation in non-dedicated mode.
