Servers for Suns?

I'm looking for servers for Suns. Right now, we have a Vax 11/750 running
4.3+NFS, and six 3/60's. I want to find a box to both replace the 750 and
be a server for the Suns. My question: Is anyone using a non-Sun machine
as a server for Suns? We thought about a 4/260 or a 4/280, but have a lot
of undergraduate use on the 750 that might prove to be a BIG bottleneck
(20-30 students doing vi, pi, pc, cc, f77, etc.) If anyone has
experiences with a Sun 4 under these circumstances, I'd be real interested
to know how the machine holds up!
Summary: I want a machine for 20-30 undergraduate students doing things
that cs students do (on dumb terminals), and that will serve 6-10 3/60's.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
David Brown
