Subject: Relative impact of imap/pc clients vs telnet/pine sessions

Take a multiuser machine, say a Sun 4/370. If it can support N pc users 
who telnet in and run a continuous pine session, it can presumably 
support M x N pc users were they all to adopt an IMAP based PC mua. Any 
guesses on the value of M? (We get N up to 40 or so on the model suggested).
