Internet Client Software from a Server

I just finished doing this today.
- Set up an internet group on the server with Read and File Scan access to
those users that you want to have access.
- Create an Internet directory on the server
- Put TcpMan, Netscape, Eudora, and whatever else you want into that directory
Flag the files as shareable read only (SRO)
- Map Root the users home directory to a drive letter (eg. H:)
- Point Netscape's caching, etc. to H:

We are using Novell 3.11 and Windows 3.1.

A similar thing is being done in the Mac labs on a MacJanet server. Again,
set up a disk box on the server with Netscape and Eudora and put the
preferences on the local machines.
