I have a VAX 8200 which services a user load of about 10-20 users typically, and a VAXstation 2000 on my desk. Both of these are pretty underpowered by today's standards, and the 8200 in particular is expensive to maintain. I'm thinking about trying to kill two birds with one stone and replacing them both with a workstation that's reasonably powerful, e.g., to be able to service my users. Will a SPARC 2 do it, e.g., with 16MB, a bunch of disk, and an 8MM tape drive? Another consideration I need to think about is either getting some serial port boards, or going to terminal servers. Any opionions. Thanks to anyone who can offer any advice or war stories. Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu
