Is anyone out there using the Sun 4 as a general timesharing machine as
opposed to a file server?  You know, like you replaced your Vax with one?
If so, could you tell me:

	- How many disks/disk controllers?
	- How much memory?
	- How many serial ports and/or terminal servers?
	- How many active users do you normally have?
	- What's the load average like?
	- What's the performance like?

We're contemplating replacing some machines with Sun 4's, but it's a
little expensive to go off and do it without hearing whether or not it's
going to work first...
