Sun hardware in the lab that I'm considering using as a replacement, but I don't
know how it's specs would compare. I'm not familiar with Sun/Sparc
hardware all that much. Can anyone comment on if what I've scrounged
up might be adequate? At most, I'd expect to eventually monitor
several dozen servers, but probably no more than 100.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
