	We are planning on using the following hardware for a
xenix system.

	 12 MHz 286
	 4 megs of memory
	 80 meg scsi disk with ST02 controller
	 some sort of intelligent 8 port board

 The system will have three duties
 
	1.) allow up to 8 users to call in via UUCP and access 
	    the same >200k file 

	2.) allow a single instance of a foxbase program to be run
	    periodically

	3.) allow at the console to query a database of 10k records

  We don't anticipate much use from the console user. Is this a workable
system? If not, what would you add to it to make it useable? Please reply
via email.

             Thanks ,
			Neal

p.s. can Foxbase write a dBase III+ readable .dbf file? 
What about .ndx files?
