1. For the soundblaster stuff I can only recommend searching -hackers or -multimedia archives. Luigi has done a lot of work on that front. 2. A P200 should easely handle ftp/www/mail/dns for 30 people. 3. If the telnet access is for light application use only like to read mail or something you can do the telnet on that same machine. 4. I would like to add a question about NFS to yours, whether NFS code is stable enough to run production. 5. As far as disk drives I would not recommend using disk drives bigger than 4Gig for disk intensive applications. Hope this helps. Rudy ---JB <jrs@Mcs.Net> wrote: > > My first question is very simple.
