I am preparing the specs for a Student Computer Lab for Information
Systems majors in a School of Business.  We have about 50 juniors and
50 seniors in any one semester, who take courses in Database, Analysis
and Design (2 semester sequence), and Communications.  (They also take
several comps sci courses, but those need not concern us here, I
hope.)
     
I have questions for the NETS.  How many workstations do we need?
What software (dbms, case, networks) is best for STUDENT INSTRUCTIONAL
purposes?  What vendors support such student labs?  What types of
facilities do you have at your university?
     
My analysis indicates that we need about 15 workstations, either
LANned or attached to a mini.  We have limited person-power, so low
maintenence is important.  What are our options, and how much shall we
pay?
     
Thanks.  Hope to hear interesting ideas.
