I have never seen a CDC cyber with more than 05% load. > This is in a university environment with 700+ users, no less. Is this 700+ simultaneous online users or just 700+ users in the validation file? Our main computing engines, two CDC Cyber 855s and one CDC Cyber 990, can only handle between a 100 and 200 users on simultaneously (per machine), although the validation file has thousands of users in it. robert -- Robert Viduya robert@pyr.ocs.gatech.edu Office of Computing Services (404) 894-4660 Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia 30332
