This will sound like we are regressing back to the mainframe paradigm :-(
However budgetary constraints are forcing us to consider the possibility of
configuring a PC network with a high end 486 with say 500 MB of disk, and
four or five SVGA monitors hanging off of it.  The rationale is that these
are not the principal machines for the user, and will be used only for word
processing and spreadsheets, etc.  Furthermore, all the data will be resident
on a single machine.

Any comments on if this is feasible ?  Whether it is a good idea ?  If the
overhead of the networking software/hardware for the monitors is really
worth it ?  Any estimates of what I may expect to pay ?

Will be much obliged for any help that the net can render.
