Are there any benchmarks or metrics to compare Sun Systems (especially the
SPARC's) to a MicroVaxII or VS3100?  This would be used to determine
#user's per machine running compute intensive applications such as
MiniTab, SPSS, SAS, etc.  Electronic text would be better, but pointers to
magazines would also be very helpful.

Please send mail to cy13@andrew.cmu.edu.  I will post a summary if there
is interest.

Thank you all for your time and consideration,
