I ran over 1200 domains and the POP server for the largest ISP in a medium city on a single 3100, not on NT obviously, osf/1


Surely you mean Ultrix, not OSF/1? Unless you're misremembering the hardware model...


No. Misremembering naming and product changes from over 30 years ago.

Remember that OSF/1 was an attempt to win the UNIX wars.

The later versions of ULTRIX had lots of BSD4.3 features that really made the move to ACP based systems feel more like a silicon change than a new OS from an admin perspective, even if not mach based.

Anything that ran bind and pop was running a later version with the bsd4.3 TCP/IP stack.


Or their setup was even more insane using the single released not necessarily final release of OSF/1 for MIPS DECstation...
