What Windows components are (or aren't) needed for ISP and LAN access?

I want to make a couple of customized Win 2k Pro disks. One machine will access an ISP (ADSL modem) and the other will connect to a LAN (TCP/IP protocol) and Sun Systems email program. Neither computer will need sharing or any remote options.

What components do I need to install for each? In particular, do I need IIS, NWLink IPX/XPS/NetBIOS or MSMail / MAPI?

Edit, I wrote ISDN instead of ADSL.

IIS is a web server, so no.
IPX is for NetWare servers, so no.
MSMail/MAPI is for Exchange, so no.

I have no idea what all is required for ISDN though, I didn't know people still used that.

Most of the major items that are removed by nLite are Network and Interent related.

If a computer is on a Network and need to access the Internet it is a Bad idea to ?Futz? around with nLite.

It does Not matter what connetion.

Any Internet connection needs the Network capcity of Windows.

But for security or simplicity are there any components I can do without?
