I would like to respectfully submit that this was the
wrong recommendation in the first place. Why would *anyone*
use a 110/140mhz mpe a-class box which is priced to
include Image/SQL as a web server?

Shoot, you can get an hp-ux a-class running 550mhz already
setup with apache...etc. for a lot less money and it will
perform a lot better as a web server.

Or just go buy the correct Sun box for web serving at a
local dot-com auction. Lots of 'em floating around these
days!
