Does anyone have ideas/experience of using a Sequent Symmetry S81 as a server for discless workstations - this is boot server, swap server and file server. I think that some other UNIX boxes can do this (Gould/HP(?)) but we are interested on using the spare capacity of our Sequent for doing this. So the questions are:- 1) are any sites doing this now? 2) is it possible with the current version of DYNIX? 3) will it be possible with future (POSIX?) releases of DYNIX? thanks, gerry -- gerry pratt - workstation support - university of keele email: cca13@uk.ac.keele.seq1 * tel: 0782 621111 x 3290
