Bert,

Gotcha! That's sort of what I thought. Our issue is the Compliance Officer of our partnership, who is absolutely, positively, concerned about EVERY aspect of HIPAA. If there are laws about HIPAA and networking, he'll find them and police us on them.

Maybe an onsite server is just not a good idea for us...I was talking to an IT guy last night who was there in the office fixing stuff (and who has been an independent contractor for our partnership for some time) and he said that since we do have an infrastructure already in place, with a server for the partnership, we wouldn't need an onsite server. He also doubted that we'd get permission to have one anyway...(That's what happens when you are part of a corporate structure!)

With a big server system, could we still have SBS 2008 installed for us to use?

At least I am learning that Raid is more than just a roach killer.
