Our old Ace (official name oucsace.cs.ohio.edu) was a Sun 630 with 4 25 Mhz processors and 120 Meg of ram. It was replaced Spring break, 2004 with a Netra t1, 1 ultrasparc-IIe processor at 500 Mhz, with 1 gig of ram. It is our printserver, primary mail server, general purpose unix box, and the machine that CS major alumni accounts and guest accounts are kept.
Althogh all mail addressed to login@eecs.ohio.edu, login@cs.ohio.edu and login@ece.ohio.edu is routed thru prime, mail is automatically forwarded to ace for these domains if there is an account on ace that does not exist on prime.
