As a student at a tertiary institution that has subscribed to
Microsoft's MSDN Academic Alliance program, theoretically I can get a
free academic license to Win2K server/advanced server (apparently, the
license says you can't use it for "infrastructure purposes"), which
would be useful for this type of activity.  Unfortunately I don't have
spare sufficiently-powerful hardware to run it :-(
