Hello,

We wonder if anyone can help us.

1)  In general, how many concurrent users is feasible to support a
single Unix machine with 3 CPUs, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB HD, Oracle 7.3.X and
Forms4.5 character mode running an invoicing application?

2)  What would be a typical number of concurrent users that will make
feasible to go for a classic 3-tier model using a TP Monitor? ( for the
scenario described in the previous question)

3)  Does anybody can help us to contact or describe the system
configuration of  some companies with the following  profile.
 * Retail bussiness.
 * Oracle database version 7.X.X
 * More than 400 (four hundrend)  concurrent users running forms 4.5.x
in Unix character mode invoicing applications
What we want to know is
3a) Do they Use  a TP Monitor ?
3b) What is the  system configuration (OS, CPUs, RAM, Disks, etc )

If you need further details please contact us by e-mail
necon@unixfor.ath.forthnet.gr
