I have been told by a Bell Tech sales person that the system will run
with 3 Mb of memory.  They also said that the system would be paging
quite a bit during "normal" operations.  4 Mb was recomended as being
much more satisfactory.  

Several months ago, I spoke with an AT&T employee who was working on
their X11 port, and he said 4 MB was te minimum amount of memory he
conidered usable.  

Disclaimer: I am not currently a Bell Tech 10.4 user.  I have XENIX
and am waiting for my copy of 2.3 and Streams.
