UN*X for a VAXcluster?

[Michael J. Chinni, SMCAR-CCS-E]

=== I recently spoke with someone who needs a large computer (a few hundred
=== users, I think).  He wants to run UNIX, but hasn't seen a single computer
=== that's able to handle this number of users. 

==Users	Disk Storage Capacity

==257	2736 MB
==631	4436 MB
==748	4436 MB

==These systems are working fine with these configurations.

=How many of those users are logged on simultaneously?  I think that's what
=he's looking for.  
system		average users logged in at any one time
257 users	20
631 users	30-40
748 users	40-50

P.S. I'm not so sure that he is looking for a system that can handle several
hundred users at once. If he is, then I think that he will have a hard time
finding anything.
