Hi Dave,
As long as this is not going to be a Domain Controller, I would recommend
using a Windows 2000 Server instead of a dual boot. You get the USB and
real Plug'n Play support and it can be accessed by Macs, even with
Appleshare over IP for connections coming in from off campus like DSL or
Cable Modems. NT 4.0 cannot do Appleshare over IP.
