But there is a 4.2 server in the mix, can't be all bad...

And what if they are also running Microsoft Bob? ;-)

Are any NetWare versions still supported? I just threw out my NetWare
server a few months ago because I just didn't see it as being relevant any
more. Which is too bad. I would much rather use NetWare than Windows
servers were it up to me.

Yes -- NW 6.5 is still being sold and supported. But Novell purchased
SuSE and now is running to Linux server and workstation iterations.
Changes their entire business model.

Yeah, that's what I heard. It sucks, too. Another great and competitive
product swallowed by the giant.

Netware's day came and went. There were better choices around apparently.

Netware's day came and went. There were better choices around apparently.More a matter of better marketing. From my vantage point SBS 2003 from
Microsoft and SBS 6.5/6.6 from Novell favored Novell in terms of
product suite and performance, and price. But Novell really didn't
'get it' regarding how to market the product -- that has always been an
issue.
So it wasn't so much a case of better choices, but rather that
Microsoft has MUCH better marketing skills and resources. In the
market, it isn't the best product that 'wins', all it takes is a 'good
enough' product with superior marketing.
Heck, Quattro Pro for a long time was a better product than Lotus 123
in the day and certainly the early iterations of Excel, but again,
Excel was 'good enough' and had the giant behind it.

Same thing happened to OS/2.
I still think it was the most superior operating system I have ever used. It
was a bullet proof tank and you couldn't kill it. It was also the "best"
multi-tasking O/S ever made.

Understood -- then again, we're probably both Betamax fans <smile>.
