One thing to consider is that these Pentium machines will need to be runing
Windows NT to use Screamernet. I was told this by Newtek about 2-3 weeks ago
when they told me about it running on all these other platforms. So, if your
50 Pentium machines are running under DOS or normal Windows you are out of
luck unless you change the OS on all of them. <grin>
