In this era of multiplying minicomputer applications and increasing minicomputer efficiency, the answers to this question are changing. There are, of course, computer applications for which the network solution is clearly not appropriate, and there are others in which a decision must be based upon a detailed comparison of the alternatives. But there are more and more applications that can benefit greatly from a network
