My company is also interrested in using workstations (like sun's) for CASE.
Here in Germany a reasonable sun-server costs about 35.000 - 40.000 DM.

So here some questions about CASE, workstations, NFS, RFS and
graphic environments on un*x :

	- Is it right, that we need only a unix-machine with a working
	  NFS to run diskless sun-workstations ?
	- Are the sun's bootable via the nfs of a non-sun-server ?
	- What about workstations based on RFS ?
	- is there software to use 386-based systems as workstations for CASE ?

Thanx in advance
