    I would also like to get rid of all of my Microsoft NT and Microsoft 2000
    servers on our school's network of 400 computers. Perhaps, you know the
    answer to this. We are using some programs that requires data to be stored
    on a server as a mapped network drive. At present the data folder is found
    on a Windows 2000 server. My question is can I transfer that data to an
    OpenBSD machine and then map the folder on that OpenBSD box as a mapped
    network drive on a Windows work station?

    Thus far, I have only been using OpenBSD boxes for email servers, ftp
    servers, and web servers. Any advice would be appreciated.
