History:
The first server (1989-1995) was a SUN4/330 with few GB of disk.
It was gradually upgraded to a Sun4/630MP-41 with (14-Feb-94)
over 20GB GB archive disk space.
Another server was a Sun Sparc Server 10/31 with few GB of disk primarily used
for archie and other databases and interactive services behind info.funet.fi.
These services have been discontinued since almost everyone has a web
browser and access to web based databases like ftpsearch.lycos.com
The second server was a DEC alphastation 3000/900 with 832MB of memory and
around 200GB of disk mostly behind a HSZ40 RAID controller.
