	I would agree with Michael in that 2 Mb seems to be plenty.
We have experimented here at Northwestern with several types of
servers, and found a Mac II with 2 Mb of memory quite able to handle
around 30 simultaneous logins and spool 4 laser printers.  With 1 Mb,
you are limited to 25 simultaneous logins and things do get much slower.

	Mac Pluses and SE's as servers do not run fast enough in my
opinion, except when less than ten workstations are accessing the
server at any given time.
