- 16 megs is just fine for that. I am running 16 megs on a 486/33
- with 10 modem users, full news feeds, a number of tcp/ip connections,
- NFS and running X on the console. The system could easily support
- twice the number of users.
- Another R4 system is a dedicated news feed system, running NNTP
- with a 33mhz 386 and 8 megs of memory. It, too, has no problems.
