I have to set up a unix network in a scientific and administrative environment consisting of about 50 stations, some organized into workgroups. We have a lot of PC's and Mac's to connect (Ethernet, LocalTalk), and want to support a UUCP domain, IP/SLIP connections, dial-up lines, and a modem pool. A better mail interface than mailx would be nice. What should I look at as file and communication server (RS6000/AIX, SparkStation, MacIIfx/AUX, DEC)? -- Joel M Miller Internet: jmm@skivs.ski.org Smith-Kettlewell Institute Usenet: fernwood!skivs!jmm 2232 Webster St Bitnet: jmm%skivs.ski.org@fernwood.mpk.ca.us San Francisco, CA 94115 Voice: 415/561-1703 Fax: 415/561-1610

We have HP 9000/835 for a purpose like that (comm server). It's fast and works well. (We use a Sparc 4 /490 as a file server and as a backup system for the HP bit never needed that). Look at HP. Here it is cheaper than DEC (and better). Norbert Bladt. -- Please use this path as return address.
