Saskatoon Free-Net has been running with a Pentium 90, 16 phone lines, web
server (~400,000 hits/month, 2-3 Gig transfered), mailing lists, etc for
over a year. 64 Meg Ram. I have seen up to 21 simultaneous users on our
system.  We started with chebucto snapshop 1, and have done some upgrades,
but not a lot...
