Re: Network Station Question

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since you plan on running Windows 2000 with Citrix I would recommend a 
heftier netstation.  We aren't using 2000 yet.  We're all NT.  However 
if you want me to ask what the techs are installing I'll let you know.  
We have a bank of Netfinity servers supporting Citrix.

Tech was whining that he had to spend several hours in here on Sunday 
because a raid drive failed.  I didn't have the heart to tell him that 
we had a raid drive fail on a 400.  It was replaced live during a weekday 
and the users never noticed the outage.

Subject:        Network Station Question

Hi everybody,

We are setting up a small network, about 45 users.
Today we have about 40 "green screen" terminals. 35 of them will be
converted to PC's and/or Network Stations (thin client).
Due to its size, the AS/400 (model 170) will be connected to a Netfinity
server. The netfinity server will be connected to the world (ie
internet) to serve e-mail and allow web browsing to about 10 people.
Office 2000 will be installed on the PC's and Network Stations.

As a summary, we think we will have 10 PC's and 30 Network Stations.
Any restrictions or recommendations on Network Stations?
At the end, there will be no technical staff to support the network, the
setup has to be easy to maintain, and we don't want to take half-day to
full-day to replace a PC. With a Network Station it should take only few
minutes.
