SharePoint 2007 document library possibilities?
I'm not super familiar with SharePoint 2007 but I can't seem to find any good information on this subject.
I have a need to have a document library updated immediately as documents are added, modified, removed from a network share.
I.E. Let's say the IT department creates a "how-to" document on a network share \\server1\it\sp_docs\ that all users have read access to for installing a printer. I also have a Document Library already setup in SharePoint under the IT department. If I were to modify that document, add a new document, delete a document, etc in that network share, \\server1\it\sp_docs\, I would like those changes immediately available to SharePoint users. Is this possible to implement or even possible at all?
If possible, can you please provide me with a step-by-step for accomplishing this in SharePoint please.

Out of the box, the closest solution would be the Page Viewer web part. However, it will keep the hierarchy, just as in the network share.

I only want the docs on the network share. I want links to the ACTUAL document name in SharePoint for the docs listed in the network share as they are created and I do not want to have to do this manually. So in other words, when a user creates a document on the network share, then I want that document (or a properly named link to it) to appear in the specific doc library I create within SharePoint.
I also don't want simply a "hierarchy" of documents.
Thanks
