The Department of Informatics, University of Oslo has done a fairly thorough performance survey of both the DS3100 and DS5400. A report can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from ifi.uio.no. Look in the 'pub' directory for the file DSxxxxbench.PS.Z (compressed Postscript). Please drop me a note if you retrieve the file, I know our local Digital office wants to know .. The report addresses topics discussed in comp.sys.dec and comp.unix.ultrix lately. +==================================================================+ ! ! ! Steinar Kjaernsroed, ! !
