	Our department just got 4 AT&t 386's.  Since these computers are 
going to be used in 3 different suites we would like to create 3 different
networks, each local to the suite.  These computers are to be used strictly
for Word Processing by the secretaries.  Since it would be kind of overkill
having a 386 for each secretary, we would like to have a 386 acting as the
server in each of the 3 networks and buying like dummy terminals for the
other secretaries in the suite.  My questions are:
	1. How can this be done?
	2. What would be the most cost-effective way to do this?
 	3. How many terminals can be supported by the 386?

	Thanks in advance for your help.  It would be kind of nice if we
get a discussion going on this, with LAN's becoming such a important part
of everyday business life.
