Summary: Sun 3/140 & 2 Sun 3/50s needs to save disk space

I am organizing the math department at SUNY--Stony Brook's new Sun
installation.  The department ordered (while I was away) A file server
(named fawn), and two workstations (named donna and jessica).  They
also obtained 2 Micropolis 141 Mbyte disks; this is, of course, not
enough for the entire faculty.  Now, I had installed all the optional
software Sun produces except for the Versatec stuff, the Transcript
software for our Apple LaserWriter (the shredder), and Macsyma.  Thus,
as more people use the system, the closer we approach a disk space
crisis.  What should I get rid of?  The System V compatibility
libraries?  Which things should I jettison?  Please note that we'd like
to get on the net ourselves sometime.

As an additional problem, all our phone service comes through a Rolm
system; this is giving us many problems.  If anyone out there with some
expertise on Rolm systems can help me, please write.

Please reply to this account, or to ejablow@sbccvm.bitnet.

Respectfully,
Eric Jablow

P.S.  Should we name our disk drives Vanna?
