Hi,


I am new to the Andrew system and am actually looking for a system to
replace our mail system and maybe some other database services.

We are a site with roughly 600 workstations (AIX 3.2, i486 SVR4 on NCR and
a bunch of Sparc and sun386i).  We have AFS installed for the AIX machines
and the rest use NFS. In addition, we have ~200 PCs using PC-NFS and Novell.

Mail is heavily based on an Ultrix server which speaks smtp (sendmail) and
DECnet.  It houses also a central /usr/spool/mail which is mounted by
all clients using NFS.   

I am looking for a system which will not have a single point of failure,
and maybe supplies some other goodies.


Can anyone share their experience with moving to Andrew (if applicable) ,
and how does it fit with the above site description.

Please reply by mail.


Thanks in advance,
