Re: Another Windows 98 Client? WISHLIST



Here's a small bomb for you... instead of ODBC database support, I've often
wished that WHFC or whatever had the capability to use LDAP as a phone
directory.  I suppose even a link to the Windows Address Book would be cute,
but the LDAP capability against the company directory servers would be cool.
