So then in theory, as long as Classic stays stable, all may be well. Alas, I have little faith in Classic staying stable (I average a Classic crash probably every other day on my home machine. I'm running a stripped down version of OS 9.2.2, almost identical to that on my SIMS OS X machine, and all I run is an email client at home. However, I find that Classic only seems to crash on the launch or quit of an application... so possibly with SIMS running 24x7 it might be more stable) Classic has also come a long way in the last 2 years. 10.2 it really sucked, 10.3 it mostly sucked, and 10.4 it kinda sucks. :-) >I probably need to throw some more RAM at the first one as it's >starting to bog down a little.

I'll have to give a serious look to setting up one of my spare Dual P2 rack servers (although since RAM seems to be the issue, those might not work well either, simply because there are only two slots and they require ECC SDRAM, something I don't have sticks larger than 128 MB for... so I'd really gain nothing in the RAM front... I may have to look at using my B&W G3 that I can at least bump up to 1 GB with ease). I did install ASSP on my machine today, I just wrapped it up a few minutes ago. However, I've got something wrong as it doesn't seem to start up properly. I'll have to go back over everything and make sure I did it right, and then start digging thru some of the docs to see if I can figure it out. >As a precaution, I'd suggest changing the name of the SIMS machine if >you keep them separate.

Well, if I make them two different machines, I'd likely stick the SIMS machine behind a firewall, and leave the mail. name and MX pointing to my ASSP machine. What I'd likely do, simply for my own ease of mapping things, stick a 2nd ethernet card into my ASSP machine, and let it act as the firewall to my SIMS machine. So SIMS would really be sitting behind the ASSP machine on its own little isolated network. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[email protected]>.
