We are running NOVELLE 3.12 and seven disks on our 600 computer network
WITHOUT the need of a tower.  NOVELLE 3.12 has the software to run CD's
without the need of a tower.  Stacking cd-drives attached to the server
is all you need (7 to a card)--if you have the memory on your server.
Also on the network are more than 60 workstations (486) that had built-in
drives so we can use non-networked CDROM programs, so that is not the
problem.  I am NOT the technology person in our building, but it is all
running extremely smoothly.>

Try writing to Chris Cooley (ccooley1@mickey.esd113.wednet.edu (our
district technology pro) for an answer.  He is a VERY busy person, but
he really does great in responding to HELP P P P !
