- We use a 5000/200 as the news server for most of the west coast of Digital's
- internal network (west coast of the U.S.A., that is). It performs quite nicely
- even with 30 or 40 concurrent readers and a dozen full bidirectional newsfeeds.
-
- But to be brutally honest, when we switch from Cnews/NNTP to INN, we could go
- back to a 3100 and get the same level of netnews performance. INN is *FAST*.
