We need to equip our labs with several minimal macs.  These will be
used for reading mail on a unix system (MacIP), running Word and some
other basic mac applications, and doing some hypercard interfaces to
sybase databases on our unix machine.  We would like make sure that
if/when we want to use X window system based programs that these
machines will handle it.

I've been told that running macX through an appletalk gateway isn't
really usable, so they need to be ethernetable.  Any comment?

What kind of horsepower is minimally acceptable?  Have you used macX on
a(n):
    - classic
    - LC
    - SE/30?
    - Si

Is 2 meg memory enough?

Any comments will be appreciated

thanks.
