We are looking at purchasing a Sequent system and I would like to get a
realistic estimate of it as a compute server and file server as compared to
some systems we have.

The configuration we are looking at is 16 386 processors, with 128 MB memory
and 2 GB disk.  (Yes, the 486's would be much faster, but we are being
offered a great deal.) All our terminals would access it via terminal servers
on an ethernet LAN.

Can anyone compare that to what Pyramid has to offer?  We have a Pyramid 9815
(with 32MB memory).  Or what about equivalent processing power in a Sun
SPARCstation environment?

Thanks.  Mark
