They have installed BSD-2.1 on a Pentium-133 with 128MB of RAM and it is using a Adaptec controller. The network is a T1 and this is where I have questions. They are thinking of "pitching" this in favor of a Sparc-20???? Should they do this or stick with what they have. It's only being used as a Web Server! I have asked this before from this group but will ask again at the risk of insulting those who have cooperated in the past; but could you check out the site and tell me if you think this box is "adequate" for the job at hand. The URL is http://www.sportsfever.com/ Is it slow or fast? Is the response time reasonable? When I check the site out from here at Pitt it seems slow but I can't tell if that's because of problems at Pitt or with MCI or the box itself??? Any and all input will be "greatly" appreciated!! -- Carl Joel Kuzmich (412) 648-1099 | Love is a better teacher than duty | University of Pittsburgh | - Albert Einstein | Office of Medical Education Pittsburgh, PA 15261
