I agree that VMware is a MUCH better way to go... I have been running NT4 for about a year now with no problems at all (K6/2-450, 256Mb - 64Mb for NT). Yes, you do need RAM (128Mb min). But then, hardware is free (when compared to all the other costs). If you billed yourself $50/hour (not unreasonable for this techy type work) for all that time you spend trying to get Wine working half as well as a VMware solution would, it wouldnt take long for WMware to pay for itself, and the extra RAM! Put VMware in, install DOS/Windows and then go to the beach. Much better idea!
