MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Thanks to everyone who responded to my last query about the mysterious system crashes -- it turned out to be a hardware problem. Now that we have our FreeBSD box up and running perfectly, my boss wants to do much more with it (or maybe more boxes). We have recently come into possession of a number of old 386s and are planning to use these boxes as POP servers for a large number of clients. My question is, roughly how many POP users could one 386 support, given that this will be their only purpose? Has anyone ever done something of the sort with a 386? I'd be interested in knowing your experiences. - Julian ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Julian Dunn, System Administrator AEC InfoCenter Inc.
