Greetings,

I will not cut and past all the server  configurations but will do a subset 
that I think will address our needs.  We can compare my list with the lists 
already sent to us by Jeff Banta, to pass a "few" options to Peter Kelley 
and company to facilitate the final decision.

4.Large AFP Server (RS/6000 F50 2-way, 256 MB)
                            This 332 MHz server would be suitable for most 
AFP applications with one or two high-speed printers (such as IBM 3900 or 
IBM Infoprint 4000 printers). With relatively simple applications, three or 
more high-speed printers might be supported, depending on the application's 
simplicity.

5.Large PostScript, PDF, PCL, TIFF Server (RS/6000 F50 2-way, 512 MB)
                            This 332 MHz server would be suitable for many 
AFP applications with one or two high-speed printers (such as IBM 3900 or 
IBM Infoprint 4000 printers), where data to be printed is in PostScript, 
PDF, PCL, or TIFF form and must be transformed before printing.

6.Small Basic Server (RS/6000 43P-140, 256 MB)
  This 233 MHz server would be suitable for many applications with one or 
two medium-speed printers (such as IBM Infoprint 60 printers), where data 
to be printed is in PostScript, PDF, PCL, or TIFF form and must be 
transformed before printing, and where the number of copies is greater than 
one.

7.Medium Basic Server (RS/6000 F50 4-way, 512 MB)
  This 166 MHz server would be suitable for many applications with one or 
two IBM Infoprint 4000 Model IR1/IR2 printers, where data to be printed is 
in PostScript, PDF, PCL, or TIFF form and must be transformed before 
printing, and where the number of copies is greater than one.
