Memory requirements for 386/ix

We will shortly be installing 386/ix for the first time (on a
Honeywell-Bull 386). The recommended minimum memory is 2MB. I would be
interested to hear about recommendations for memory size, and its
practical effect on performance of 386/ix. I realize that this depends
a lot on the way in which the machine is used. All I can say about our
projected use is that it will be used for mail by a group of, perhaps 20
people, though I suspect no more than 6 at a time. We also expect to
use it as a file server for the same group, using NFS. I suppose that
the closest comparison might be with someone who has used 386/ix on a
similar machine (20 MHz) for a similar group size.
