    I am looking for advice on what machine we should
    buy.  Any and all advice is welcome.  Our lab runs
    on Suns.  Occasionally, a user has a big job that
    takes days to run on the Suns.  We need a fast machine
    for these people to run on.  All our applications are
    different so a special-purpose DSP engine or the like
    will not do.  
    
    The machine we are looking for
    might have specs something like this:

    	50-60 (Vax 11/780) MIPS 
	10-20 times Sparc floating point (20 MFLOPS?)
	128MB memory
	Small disk
	Runs "BSD flavor" Unix
	Priced to Sell ($50-100K?)

    Any ideas?  Convex?  Trace?

    All replies greatly appreciated -- I have no idea
    what is available.

We are not in the business of giving endorsements, but you should know
that the Multiflow Trace is "out of business" as are quite a few other
companies.  Call local sales offices first.
