I'm interested in whether anyone has had experience using a SPARCserver 2
as a multiuser system.  Some of SUN's promotional literature indicates
that it outperforms a SPARCserver 330 in this respect, and "with support
for dozens of networked terminals, it makes an outstanding multiuser
system".

The intended use for the system would be reading news, reading mail, and
the editing associated with such tasks.  There would most likely be 24-30
simultaneous users.  Could a SPARCserver 2 with adequate memory handle
this type of load?  How much memory would one want?  Any other gotchas?

Thanks for any information which might help in this evaluation.  If
responses warrant, I'll be pleased to summarize (and if this has already
been discussed, I apologize for raising it again).
