File Server

Pentium II Class or better, SCSI, 256k memory, 8mm Backup with Backup Software, Anti-virus Software, Windows2000, NT4.0, NT4.0 Terminal Server, Novell, Win95/98.

Workstation

Pentium II Class or better, 128 memory,  Windows98, Fast Celeron okay.

Network Hardware

Network Card - 3com or Intel 10/100

Hub - 3com or Intel 10/100, will perform better with "10/100 Switch".

Cable - Cat5 must be quality cabling with quality connectors.

Hardware must be compliant "quality". The system is real time. Millions of hits per user, will create intense network traffic.

Recommend using the same hardware manufacturer for the hub and network cards. The system will be faster with 100mb. Performance would increase with a "switch" instead of a hub. Cabling is very critical for the amount files being constantly opened and closed.

Printing

Okidata 320 dot matrix printers or any quality dot matrix

HP Laser & compatibles (no Windows only printer for faster printing)
(Prints to Windows only and usb printers with "snapwp" utility.)

HP Jetdirect Multi-port/Single-port Print Server or compatible

Okidata 320 are "work" tough. They are fast, simple, and are easy to load. HP’s are just a good standard for general printing.


Recommend using a HP Jetdirect type device to connect printers directly to the network. This allows the user to move printers around without computers. It also prevents disconnections because the computer gets turn off.

If you have any machine using NT4.0 / Windows2000, you can bypass the HP Jetdirect hardware print server and instead share and map all printers through an NT4.0 / Windows2000 workstation or server.

Other Software

PcAnywhere for remote access, PcAnywhere Host on workstations for dial up support.  Windows2000 Terminal Services or NT Terminal Server 4.0 for multiple access via DSL / Cable.
