[Jim Maxka]

Hi Guy -- Sounds like a good idea.  Is there an FAQ somewhere about how 
to configure access servers?
My understanding is that the access servers don't have to have much 
memory or processing power. 
Is a P4 or AthlonXP or 64 good enough?  What is the role of RAM for the 
access servers?
