Default Help Needed from Mac nerd with ILEC SN10

Dave -

There's a simple solution:

Get VMWare or use Boot Camp to run Windows XP on your Mac for those
times you need it. No need for emulators or WINE (both of which are
trickier than a simple Windows install).

I've been doing this kinda stuff on my Mac Laptop for 2 years now
(though not with ILEC, sorry). Works great!

Get a PC.

OK, but if you don't want to use Windows (via Parallels or VMWare or
Boot Camp if you're on a Mac), then you have to accept that you're
setting yourself up for a harder job and more potential problems down
the road.

Using WINE or some other non-standard solution is like trying to find
a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn a big bolt; and you're struggling
with this simply because you don't want to use the wrench that the
bolt was designed for in the first place...

You asked for a solution, I gave the simplest one! *shrug* ...But I
guess I'm just "lazy". As an IT Manager with over a dozen years of
experience in the industry, I've decided that the ideological wars
between Apple and Microsoft and *nix are not worth the wasted time and
energy. I prefer to use the best (or simplest) tool that reliably
gets the job done. Sometimes that's a Mac, sometimes that's a PC with
Windows, and sometimes that's a Linux/Unix shell.
