There have been comments recently in news about the number of users
present or supportable on various systems.  We recently hit the
Century mark (over 100) users on our Dual-Processor Vax 11/780 system.
The record at present is 105 users logged in at one time, although
70-80 is typical and normal.  Most users are instructional compiles,
edits, etc., although some research jobs are present.  Our system 
runs 4.1BSD (modified where necessary for the Dual-Processor code).
George Goble and Mike Marsh of the Purdue EE Digital Services Group
are overall responsible for this effort.

A paper is in development which describes in more detail the
implementation, so requests for information will be delayed until
such time as a final report is issued.
