Our DEC salesman came up with an idea: Buy som new DECstation 2100's, put 24 Mb in each of them, and use the old 2000's as X-terminals. In this way, by purchasing 20 DECstation 2100, we could get 40 fast workstations. Comments? Has anyone tried this? -- Per Foreby Email: perf@efd.lth.se System manager at EFD, Lund Institute of Technology (Lund University) Snail: E-huset, LTH, Box 118, S-221 00 LUND, Sweden.
