Believe it or not...we are just now getting off our HP3000/70 and going to
a MPE/ix box!
Can anyone give us an ideal of what kind of impact NS/VT traffic will have
on our network.
We will be supporting 60+ users and 16+ printers.  Our existing network is
10baseT and I would say that we have light to mediumn traffic on it now.

Our biggest concern is whether or not an existing 384k link (6 channels on
T1) to our plant will be able to support typical traffic for 25+ users and
6+ printers.

Would anyone be willing to share their experiences, advise, expertise, "gut
feeling" etc. with us?  Is there any quanitative standard to use for
estimating traffic per user?

Any help would be appreciated!
