- Thanks for the info. On a related note: Since Coherent doesn't have
- virtual memory, I was thinking of installing 16 Mb of memory for each
- machine supporting four dumb terminals (Each terminal would run
- editors and occassional compiles). Is it an overkill? Can I run more
- terminals on a machine with 16 Mb of memory? Would the CPU handle it?
- Any recommended quantities of memory for particular setups? Does
- anyone have a pet setup they would like to share with us (in terms of
- memory, ramdisks, cache, etc)?

- Tx,
