- No dream. We have several sites in the 20-25 terminal range under
- SCO Xenix running just fine. We have one site running on an IBC XLA
- box (proprietary internals) running SCO Xenix with 55 terminals and
- running apps like Informix. And the system has been very stable.
-
- So there is no 8 terminal limit... When making a decision it requires
- looking at the overall systems, # of terminals, # of active terminals,
- # of printers, # of graphics printers, types of applications, typical
- mix of applications, and any other considerations just as dial-ins,
- faxmodems and the like.
