We're considering purchasing an AT&T 3B2/400 to support our admin-
istrative needs around here, but are not sure whether or not it can
handle the load that is required.  We typically would have 20-25 users
on at a time with most running idle, a few (2-3) running fairly good
sized spreadsheets (whatever's available), a few (4-6) running vi, 
and a few more (2-3) using nroff on some pretty large files.  It would
seem to be a typical administrative type load.  I have looked in the 
area to find an installation using one with a similar load, but all 
to no avail.  My AT&T rep also has struck out finding a similar environ-
ment, so I was wondering if anyone else out there has had any such 
experience.

Thanks for ANY input.
