Hi,

  A friend of mine in India has bought 4 PCs (286) and is planning to buy a
fifth PC (386) for his small business. He would like to be able to run windows
and future applications targeted for the 386 on the 386. What would be a suitable configuration (hard disk and RAM capacity)? Also, the PC's are mostly unutilized in the evenings and nights. He is interested in improving their utilization by entering into the data entry business (e.g., CD-ROM data entry).
Since he is based in India (where skilled labor costs only a fraction of that in the US), he feels he will be able to offer data entry services to US customers
at attractive rates. Distance may not be a problem since there is overseas
mail and e-mail. Where should he start? Which companies are likely to be interested in data entry services? Is there any other way he could use his
PC's more profitably?

   I would appreciate any help that readers may be able to provide. Kindly email
your replies to me (arvind@nac.enet.dec.com), since I am not a frequent reader
of this news group. 

  Thank you.

	Arvind.
