I don't administer a WAN, but I do know that we are using Novell for our
networked lab of 32 machines in the library and we have had nothing but
difficulty with keeping it up and running. We DO NOT have a full time
administrator and I think we certainly need one. The amusing thing is we
are not even hooked on line yet. I am afraid what kind of problems will
begin experiencing when that happens. Good luck and please post a
summary to the list.
