   While i do agree with you in most of what you say, let me correct 
you in a little something:

    If it was possible to have 3K dumb terminals on a NT server, why 
shouldnt it? Please when you translate that into NT'ish please be 
sensible, and do it well. Its obvious that 3 people supporting 7 
AS/400 with 3K users with dumb terminals (if they were all CA/400 
they wouldnt be enough) on them, isn't quite the same as having 3 
people supporting 7 NT's with 3K users with Win95 machines. It would 
be the nearest thing to hell on earth. They are different tasks, left 
for different people.
