  Multimax is the name of an Encore system. The model 320 I'm
typing this on has 12 32332 cpus and has 168 users logged on at
the moment; in the afternoon the number approaches 200. There are
other systems within Encore that support 150-200 users and this
does not count an unknown number of "invisible" xterm sessions.
