I hope you don't believe that Acess will support this. I have been in the telemarketing world for 3 years and this is impossible. You will not even be able to get 200 users on a PC server (even 2 processor) and get any speed. We have used informix extensively and are using Sun computers as our servers. It is a very workable solution. Please contact me if you need more info.
