I am using 2 AHA-2940UW with FAST and wide SCSI drives for my spool and
over areas.  It seems to be working fine.

The best indication I have when the system is slowing down is the log
from the other machine, it says sleeping, when nothing is going on. 
This new system doesn't do that at all.

It goes without saying lots of CPU speed, and RAM !!!

Please respond with e-mail as well as post, as news server still in 
test phase.
