| I keep my PAB and my PST on a network file share so I can easily get at
it whether logged in from home on my laptop, from my NT system in the
office of anywhere else.

Oh, great ... this means I have to move the .pst file again??
8^)
I don't have NT4.0 at work yet, but I will soon, and will have
Exchange loaded soon thereafter ... and then I'll have to have
a .pab and .pst file that's accessible from both places.

If you go to Outlook, your Contacts folder can replace 99% of
the functionality of the PAB. This allows the information to
remain on the Exchange Server (the Contacts address book is just
another folder in your mailbox) and allows replication of the
Contacts folder via offline replication.
If the PAB is on a network share and your desktop system has
it open, you're not going to be able to open from another
system.
I really like the Contacts folder approach. It's alot more
sensible. The only snigglet is that distribution lists are
more difficult to do with Outlook. I use a PAB for that.

| Re .7, i too have my .PAB and .SCD in My Briefcase. The only pain in
the neck is to have to close down my other Exchange sessions (some time
on 3 different NT systems on my desk and lab benches) before i can sync
them. Other than that, the arrangement is in deed quite satisfactory.

Per your quote above, it is not only difficult, it is impossible to do
distribution lists without a PAB...per Outlook Help file.

No, there IS a way, it's just a hack and a hassle. See the
Outlook FAQ at http://outlook.useast.net/outlook/
