Tait Cyrus, in his previous posting, brought up an interesting subject on which no one has commented. Which is better, individual workstations for all users or X-terminals tied to a large server. The cost of soft- ware licenses may make the latter option a more cost effective solution when servers become large enough to handle multiple users. Local servers eliminate the graphics communications cost for most applications. Is anyone else evaluating this alternative? Dick Smith ricardo@parns.nsc.com National Semiconductor P.O.
