- Simple question for system planning... (hopefully):
-
- In a very general sense (like, without a mathematical proof, now) -
- if *only* the following services were available on a Sun host:
-
- email (ucb or pine or elm or mush)
- news (reading and processing eg. full node)
- gopher (client)
- wais (client)
- editing (vi, pico, emacs)
- ftp
- dialin xfer (xmodem, kermit)
- telnet
-
- (to clairfy, no heavy compiles, no graphics)
-
- At what point would I saturate the system, or get an average response
- time nearing one second (eg, the system is fully used up), represented
- in Number of concurrent users?

- For a sparcstation2
- For a sparcstationLX
- For a sparcstation10
-
- Thanks for any help - I'll summarize others experience.
