Hi all, I just signed on to this list, I had serious trouble 
with my new server as well, crashed 2-3 times every week. I sincerely
hope the bug in the Adaptec driver has been fixed in the 2.2.2 release :)

I got one question: My new server setup is a digital prioris pentium
90mhz, with 3 x 4 giga scisi disk for the news spool, 1 giga for the os
and 80mb RAM. At present I got about 4-5 concurrent news clients, but
I expect to get about 10 times that sometime near future. Whatkinda setup
is needed for that? How much RAM should I calculate for each news client,
the server itself etc? I would be happy if some can give me a brief 
outline of system requirements, since I am pretty new to running a
news server.
