Windows NT 4.0
Server is usually your best option if you need:
·
Dial-up networking
that gives clients access to your network
·
An application server
·
A high performance
file and/or print server
·
A print server that
shares AppleTalk printers
·
File and print sharing
for UNIX computers
Windows NT 4.0
Workstation, Windows 95, or Windows for Workgroups may be a solution
if:
·
You want peer to peer
networking
·
No more than ten
clients will access any resources on one server at a time
·
Most of your work
involves applications and data stored on the client PCs, and working
with data files over the network is the exception rather than the
rule
·
When you open files on
another user's computer, that other user can afford to have
productivity applications slow down
