I think we're too overwhelmed with work to do any planning. Once we et the
670 up, and the terminal servers are usable, we should really do some
planning. The first thing I'd like to plan is distributed function. But that
would be premature right now.

by that do you mean, say using the old machine for mail processes, and the
new machine for home directories and conferences?

I just meant that we ought to get ourselves in the position where we can
have several machines doing several different functions. *Some* machine
could handle mail delivery, but it might not be grex, and it might not
be the old machine.
Other things besides mail could be offloaded to different processors
too. One of the things that would make all of this easier is a
distributed authentication system. This requires a little planning, and
more staff time than we have free right now.
There is progress being made on the 670, but there is more ground to
cover there before it will be visible.

I wish I could help with that, but I lack both expertise and proximity. <:-T
