At BRL we use a lot of Goulds (both 6000 and 9000 series). My workstation
(a 3/50 running 3.x) is served off of a 9000. Unless I am seriously
mistaken a PN9000 is MUCH faster both in MIPS (5-7 versus 3ish) and IO
speed then a 3/280. I am not sure about a 4/280.

The only problem might be geting a Gould to handle serving SunOS 4.X
clients. I tried that when I was with the Naval Academy and had problems
due to incompatible NFS versions. The problem was only with diskless
client's root and swap files. The gould works just fine for "regular" NFS
(ie accessing user's home directories and such). I think the problem was
with the Gould not supporting named pipes in the file system but it was a
while back and the details are fuzzy.

Check with your Gould tech people- they might be able to tell you
about the latest release of UTX.
