Our site is considering purchasing a new machine to replace our current, overly
costly to maintain, machine.  The NeXT has been mentioned as a possibility, but
its ability to meet the needs of our site's multi-user environment (16+ users
with various applications from telnet use to compiling & other CPU/IO intensive
jobs) has been disputed by various outside sources.  I would be very interested
in hearing from anyone who is running a NeXT in a similar situation, or can
refer me to someone who does.  Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
