If that's the *only* thing you wanted the 3000 for, then you were
sold the wrong machine for the job.  I have no idea how HP-UX
would run on that size system (I guess that would be an 'E' class box?),
but probably Samba would provide better throughput than Samba/iX.
Now would it be worth the conversion costs?????

Since the 3000 does not appear to be turning into the fire breathing
file server I was led to believe, what kind of a 9000 file server
would it be?  3000/928, 128mb memory, 21gb spread over 5 discs on a
'double-wide' scsi.
