After buying an ODBS driver from merant at $4000 for a single server CPU
(for paradox mind you) well this is not a a big problem. Actually it
would
be a single cpu thing as I want to backup the machine so if it failed I
could
clone it to the matching one of the pair in minimal time.

On a different level some PC software is really wacked pricewise.

Anyone reading this could suggest a good low cost POP3/SMTP package
for NT4 server with 40 users (not internet), contact me off list. IT
doesn't
have to forward mail to the internet as we dont have such a
connection...yet.
