> The box isn't any more responsive than the Linux PC on > my desk. but the fact that it's just that responsive for the other 10,000 people logged onto it, is what makes it *really* impressive. :) I've heard of S/390s running with 30,000 people logged in simultaneously; 10,000 of them active at any given moment, with sub-second response time. Just imagine the IRC server you could build on that. :) Carl Soderstrom -- Network Engineer Real-Time Enterprises (952) 943-8700
