Well....this machine also runs Telefinder web server that serves
20-50,000 web pages per day. It also has Rumpus doing a couple
hundred ftps... and a couple hundred BBS logins. We had to stop
using Telefinder for mail because it saves each email as an
individual file and we were over running the 30,000 limit under HFS.
Didn't switch back after HFS+ because I liked SIMS.
But the answer to what it is...its a Powercomputing Powerbase180 with
144 megs RAM . Its run everyday since 1997. I use a 10 gig internal
IDE as the mail spool and 3-2 gig SCSI drives for users web pages
etc. I use a PowerKey to keep from having to drive in to the office
now and again.
We're going to retire the ol'bugger soon as we're gearing up to go
national in the next couple months. But we are a Mac shop still...
