Hi!
I work at an ISP, and we plan to establish a Customer Care Center at a 
different location from our main floor (however, it's still going to be 
connected via 100MBit - most likely a fat Cisco).
Since everyone should be able to work everywhere maintaining his user 
profile, all the apps and utils have to be on the server.
The way I see it, the only solution for WinTel would be a fat NT server, 
100MBit to the workplace (its for 24-40 computers) and fast NT workstations.
Now...the question is:
What kind of load do I have to expect on the network (I guess it's going to 
be pretty heavy, if everyone gets all their data, except OS stuff from the 
server), are there any other possibilities to realize "computer-independant" 
work (removeable HDs wont work), and is there another convenient (no Novell, 
pls ;) solution (ie Linux?) to the problem.
If there are any NT experts floating around here, could you give me a hand 
with the server setup (What do I need for an application server? What kind of 
machine would you suggest? How can I make the process as transparent for the 
user, as possible?)
Since we got about 8 weeks to work this out AND realize it...any answer is 
really appreciated!
kind regards, Bernhard Hortens, EUnet Austria
