Hi networkers, A question for those who have running a network of diskless workstations over Ethernet. In our applications of image processing we do quite intensive I/O but also quite a big number of calculations. We were wondering if diskless workstations (in a number of 10 or 15 or even 20) would the solution for us, or if, on the contrary, the Ethernet would be collapsed. I know that this is quite application-dependent, but have any body over there got some experience about when you start getting into troubles with these diskless configurations? Any suggestion would be most welcome. I will summarize the answers (I hope to have answers!!!) Thank you, In Real Life: Jose Maria Carazo, NY State Health Department bitnet: JF600@ALBNY1VX.BITNET arpa: JCARAZO@BIONET-20.ARPA AT&T: (518)473-1964 _______________________ P.S.: Is there anybody of the RPI listening?. I think you have some experience with your VAX2000's that we would like to share.
