We are considering a departmental processing to be used with 25-35
concurrent users, basically for communications and word processing
with 2-3 using number crunching applications.  We are considering
either two DECstation 5100's or one 5500.  If anyone has ANY experience
in using these as a server, please drop me an E-mail note relating
your workload, performance, and satisfaction levels.
