Well, believe it or not a Pentium 90, 48MBs ram, about 3GB of SCSI drives
and a PCI bus network card. We just upgraded some stuff so I'm not sure
about everything, but the network we run off of is wired for UC12, but I
think they're only using bandwidth for 3 T1s. The OS is Linux, it's been
incredibly stable, and since the hardware upgrade we only lag when there's
more than a recompile going on, and we have a huge server (dms is like
3.9 MB). Now to get over 256 connections we had to do a recompile of the
GCC libs and then the kernel (major pain in the ass).
Someone else asked:

Let me check and see how much information I can divulge.
