We have a DEC 5000 workstation with 128mb RAM and Ultrix 4.2 as our
current E-Mail server. With 50 shell users running PINE or TIN, this
box comes to it's knees. We are looking to upgrade.
Our ideal system will be able to support 150 concurrent shell sessions
(from TELNET) running PINE, TIN and SLIRP over ethernet.
We would like to hear your opinions on what UNIX workstation would meet
this requirement. We have $40k to spend.
Thanks in advance.
