[FADCA] RE: WL2K and AirMail Computer requirements

[Rick Muething]

There was so much activity on the reflector I forgot who asked this!  Anyway
here is the short answer:

AirMail works on Win 95 through Win XPPro. It needs only probably 16 Meg of
memory(Win 95) and a 486 CPU with at least 33 Megahorses. It will be
sluggish on some operations with that however. Some of the fancy functions
like Propagation prediction are CPU hogs and will bog down a slow machine
but are manually initiated so can be avoided. It has also been run on a MAC
using a PC emulator but of course this is a little sluggish on slower Macs.

WL2K software needs some horsepower.  Win ME through Win XP Pro (Win ME not
as stable). At least 64Meg RAM and 300 Mhz Pentium with at least 2G of
available disc space. Most PMBOs use Win 2000 or Win XP with 128+ meg and
this is very stable. The database is repaired, compressed and backed up
daily at each PMBO and the Central server uses redundant RAID drives and
backup for reliability.

I will be happy to answer (or redirect if I can't) any questions on WL2K or
AirMail.
