>What's the slowest, oldest hardware people have running SIMS?  How well does
>it work for you?

Quadra 950   OS 7.6.1
68040          66MHz  28Meg (lots of little SIMMs in 16 slots)
Running
SIMS  1.8b9d12 - 1.8b8 crashed on startup on the quadra and a IIfx
NonSequitur  DNS for 3 domains
IPNetrouter    4 NIC cards
Timbuktu
LocalTalk Bridge

Not the oldest or slowest but maybe the most loaded.
Works great running SIMS since January - upgraded to act as a secondary on
11/20. Has never crashed except when I tried to bring up 1.8b8 but 1.8b9d12
has been up for 2 weeks.

As far as speed it would be interesting to have a lot of people send it
mail from both sides at the same time and see if it can keep up with the
DSL while I send a big job to the printer over LocalTalk Bridge. I am sure
this will never happen by chance on my network.

Once I was writing apps in RealBasic on my mac and emailing them to test on
a PC on the same desk this is the only time I can think of that I cared how
fast it was.

I just ran a test sending my self a 6.7Mb attachment on my local network.
Sending to SIMS  6700KBytes/95sec -> 70.5K Bytes/second
Reciving from SIMS 6700K Bytes/ 180 sec -> 36.4K Bytes/sec
There is clearly some overhead but this is slow compared to the Ethernet
network speed but faster than my DSL. The asymmetry is interesting.
