I've gotten a lot of advice from several of you and I think I'm getting
close to making a decision.  Would you critique the following system for
me, please?

Server: 16 MHz 386 with 8MB RAM and a 120MB HD, running UNIX SVR4
(probably Microport because of price) with TCP/IP and NFS.  WD 16-bit
ethernet card.

Clients: 15-20 various MSDOS Zenith XTs and 286-ATs, running MSDOS.  WD
8-bit ethernet card.  FTP's TCP-PC with their "Interdrive", an NFS-like
program.  daVinci email.

Question: are the WD cards for thick or thin ethernet?

Thanks for your help.

Pete
