What else do I need for an internet server? HP Vectra Towers 2 each 486 cyrex chips 50 meg processor Need high speed hard drives. These are the Tall Towers that have multiple drives, these are server towers. I think I have a router Hub. And a couple LAN cards. That's all I have. But I just got them, and I want to use them. I assume I will be using some kind of UNIX software.

HP does some strange things to their BIOS software - you may want to get one of those net analyzer tools and some low-level software that can monitor what your HP's are sending and receiving, just in case.

They don't normally use Vectras for UNIX, so what effects you can expect, I don't know.

Dale, Thanks for your reply. Really I'm not sure about UNIX, I was just guessing. What I really need is a B.O.M (bill of materials). What other 'hardware' will I need to round up in order to get this server up and running. Thanks: otto =-=-=-=-=- Otto Matic "Fuckin' A, Miller!"
