I didn't think such a simple question would stir up so much
response!...
For those who asked, the network in my house is entirely 10-Base2.
The server is running 3 Ethernet flavors (802.2, 802.3, & Ethernet_II
for TCP/IP) & DHCP, so IP isn't a problem. My shack PC is running Win
95, tho the 2nd machine is Win 3.1; I wasn't going to bother to
upgrade it since it's only going to run CT and my dBase IV logging
programs.
Anyway, from the feedback, it sounds like CT's multi-user capability
was designed as it's own peer-to-peer network using serial ports, and
that it has never really been retro-fitted for a more traditional
client/server system (& why should it, since how many screwballs run
servers in their homes?).
What this means to me is that my original thought of running CT 9 off
the server -- that is, load the application from the server & store
the databases there -- is probably going to be a bigger hassle than
it's worth. The good news is that I shouldn't have any major problems
running it peer-to-peer regardless of the server. (famous last words)
Thanks for all the feedback.

As long as all the computers can 'hear' each other on the netware server, it
should be no problem. Data will NOT pass through the server, so you will have
to ensure that all the machines are on the same hub, or the same ether (if you
are using coax).
This can coexist at the same time as your normal netware traffic.
