Don,
I didn't expect a "definite" answer whether or not a 3000UX would handle
the situation I described. The indication that it "might" is more what I
was looking for. I will do more checking before I seriously consider it.
You mentioned that the license your dealer had was for only two users.
Does this mean that when Joe Blow buys a 3000UX he only gets a two-user
license? Any idea what it would cost to add a few more (6-8 total)? I
should get to see a 3000UX network in two weeks but I doubt it will be more
than two users.
Sure the Database program will make a big difference in performance in a
network environment. I wondered if the the 3000 had the bandwidth to
handle a respectable amount of traffic without coming to its knees.
Certainly I would run 8meg of ram or so (my old 2500 has 7meg). I know
some hardware is more bulletproof than others but you can almost replace
the whole machine for what the annual service contract on a mini costs.
I wish a machine with more slots and a 32bit bus was out.
….Mark P.S. Tyanks for the good info.
