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
