Are you saying that he should not use a network, even if he wants to?

files, is what DB does, and emails, you can simply forward. I am not
understanding how networking, (I am a Comptia Net plus Certified Tech) will
help you accomplish this task more efficiently. furthermore, what sort of
protocol did you plan on using, SMB, AFB, HTTP with an apache server? FTP
maybe? and how can any of these allow you to share email unless you setup a
SMTP service via an always on host?
