Here at Sweet Briar, we run one server in a Mac Lab, plus using
DEC's Pathworks Macintosh on our VAX as a campus-wide server (we're tiny,
600 students) plus the dorms are net yet on the net - summer?
It seems that if you are purely Apple, one server (Mac) per dorm (or 2
dorms) would be appropriate. However, TGV "may" have an NFS client for
Mac end of '95 which seems me much better speed-wise if you have
a mixed environment or TCP/IP
