They are basically a one- or two-user machine. VERY SLOW. Not much disk in the default versions. Whatever you do, do NOT get the dual-rl02 version! Get the r80, both for speed and disk space. We are running with only 1 Mb of memory -- hopefully it performs better with 2M. To give you an idea of how slow it is, it takes us about 30 seconds to log in. I tracked the speed problem down to where login runs the crypt subroutine. Takes about 20 seconds to encrypt a password string (sigh)! -Dan
