You raise some good points. I don't want to convey the impression
that we are hastening to escape NT simply because it's NT. This is
a major business move and one we've put a lot of thought into...

I must admit that reading your post opened my eyes a bit. Still,
I'm inclined to believe that in the long run, Listserv operating on
a Linux machine will simply be more cost effective.

Either way, I am going to do some considerable research in the next
month. I've appreciated this helpful forum very much -- I
anticipate tapping into this "gold mine" again and again ;-)
