We are looking for a reasonably priced UNIX box. An 80386 system probably makes the most sense - there may be a need to run DOS every once in a while. It would be used primarily for electronic mail and file transfer using tcp/ip over ethernet. It needs to support about 4 simultaneous users initially with room for some expansion. Reasonable price does not (in this case ) mean cheap. We seek reliability a stable operating system and ease of system administration. It would be nice if the tcp/ip implementation (whether part of the standard release or a third party product) supported (in addition to SMTP, telnet and ftp) the 'r' commands, (at least) a domain name service resolver and (maybe) NFS (both client and server). So, those with some experience, what would you recommend (or recommend against): What hardware? What UNIX port? What third party TCP/IP (if needed)?
