RE: (ASCEND) What good is Ascends Access Control??



Just out of curiosity (and I don't mean to ruffle any feathers) but do
you have a specific reason why you do not believe NT can handle the
responsibilities of the NAS management server?  I've been running Access
Control and NavisAccess now for the past few months and it appears to be
stable and very well supported.  
Please don't bash...just professional experienced opinions are what I'm
looking for.  8^)

Thanks
Kirk

	Hey I don't care, make it available for Linux... 
	                   I'll build a linux box for it
	                  Make it available for FresBSD...
	                   I'll build a FreeBSD box for it

	but NT ... NO WAY, Win95... too unstable

	OS/2 ..... YEAH, go for it

	Please Ascend, don't believe Micro$hit's marketing, go for the
masses
	out there, reduce the price (at least here in OZ...$3,000 is a
bit
	rich) and get a great wad of sales.
