[Wolves] Windows NT + licenses needed!

[Philip Harper]

Well yes, I mean, what I'm basically looking for are proper legal 
versions of old NT server 4, as it's no longer supported and so can be 
got hold of fairly cheaply as people are wanting to get rid of old (full 
retail) versions, with the CAL's.  I don't mind paying, especially if 
it's a fully boxed version, as long as the price isn't too high!
