I feel bad...Only 20 functionals in the house, but I do have over 150
varying PC's in my storage building, mostly PS/2's....

Hmmm, I was thinking of cutting down to about 50 computers, about half
networked and the other half as curiousities or spares. I have six areas
that each need a working mac and pc, (5) main servers each running
something different (Linux, NT, OS2, AppleShare (one 3.0.4 to boot IIgs
systems, and one running a newer IP version)), fun servers (HP/ux on some
Apollo's, various on older macs and PCs), dedicated systems (scanner,
couple phone things, (2) CDR burners), various old systems running old
software. I want to have as many different kinds of segments on my network
as I can manage, which means running a model 95 OS/2 system to bridge
between 10bt and tokenring on twinax.
