We're running at most about 32 (student) users doing things like lisping, running big, slow homebrew compilers, using compatibility mode, and the like. We only have 2Mb of memory (I forget whose) but use Able DH/DM's (we have one DZ which we try to avoid using for high-speed lines). On the other hand, performance can get pretty slow (load averages around 25). Usually performance is good (load average is usually well under 10). ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
