USB is supported on NT now, but if this server is your exchange server
i wouldn't install anything on it unless you test it on some other box
and make a good backup before installing the patch, you can just
google USB NT 4.0 and look around.

i suggest, however, to get another box and make it your proxy server,
put 2000 on it, or linux or whatever you want that supports USB
natively, and leave the exchange server alone.

just my 2cents. --Lehi
