I could be wrong, but I think one client uses BOTH Appletalk and TCP/IP on
the same databases to serve to Macs and PCs... anyone??

Anyway, as I have now gotten pushed fully into this project, I understand
the BIG picture a little better. What the client is really looking for is
a solution to allow: dial-out Internet access, fax out capabilities, dial
in access to network including FileMaker databases (PCs included, at least
for FileMaker). What they have is an all-Mac network with an older version
of ARA, and two phone lines with modems for each connected to a Mac running
Portshare Pro.

There was a slick little product from Global Village (Global Village or
Global One Comm Center or Comm Server - something like that) that was
basically a hardware solution that would do it all. I've only heard good
comments about it - but it's been discontinued. They still have some on
the shelf but it's not supported. It seems that this would be a good
product for the SOHO market, and apparently they sold quite a few of them.
But we can't find anything similar out there. Has anyone heard of a
similar product or solution??

Thanks!
