I was remarking on the 14T of disk. I can say, with metaphysical certitude, that you *DON'T* have 14T of disk on that thing. 2G of RAM is at least believable (on a fully loaded SGI Power Challenge), as I've seen an IBM RS6000 in the city engineering office here in Rolla with a GB of RAM. > i get it.. duno spects on processors but if it has 4 of them.. (which i know > it at least has) but yea.. i am sure i can get it on a T-1 no problem.. T1? Great. 1.544Mb/sec would be nice for a Mud. I'll say that that's a lot faster than one could get here at UMR. Now, the real question, is that gonna be linked into an inverse-multiplexed T3 at the corporate office? (I'm assuming that you've a T3 there, since you can run a T1 directly to the mainframe that's sitting in your neighbor's yard). A better solution, and one that will benefit all that use the system, would be to use an ATM switch at the main interconnection point to switch packets over the network. That will bring better bandwidth to the whole affair. Another question, are you on a simple ethernet at the office, or do you have a HPPI or FDDI ring going? with 14T of disk, you'll clobber the network with data coming from controllers that can apparently handle such things. BTW, how's business? Must be booming if you can afford the multiple tens of millions of dollars it would take just to think about such an affair. > Just wanted to know if you were being a smartass.. thats all. Confirmed!
