A couple of questions re: AppleShare.

	We have a Mac II w/ 5 meg. RAM running AppleShare.  Of this, 2 1/2 meg 
	are being used as a RAM-disk for database indicies.  How should we use
	the remaining 2 meg or so of memory?  Does AppleShare do a better job 
	of caching file data, or should we use the standard system RAM cache?
	
	Also, does anyone have feedback on the IPT AppleShare-type server?  Is
	it really any faster than AS on a Mac II-class machine.
	
Please post or mail responses, as you see fit.  I appreciate any & all
comments, as we are seriously trying to increase database performance on
our system here (multi-user FoxBase, Mac IIs, ethernet LAN.)

Thx.
