	Incidently, we've got a 486-dx2-66 with 32mb ram acting as a
live (production) squid/proxy server, that outperforms a pentium 150
with 80mb ram running nt and ms-proxy!  it's been happily serving away
for months, with barely a hickup... the nt box is now being used for
something else.... 8-)

	having had so much performance out of the proxy, thought we'd
give it a shot with file and mail services... 8-)

	anyway, I think i'll get that extra 4mb ram, and run it a 8mb...

	ta for the help....

	regards
