    INTRODUCTION
    This document contains information on the required minimum hardware and software specifications, and

    Aquira.
    • For internet connectivity and servers, Aquira supports a Microsoft network using TCP/IP on a brand
    name server quality computer.

    configuration on a Windows Workgroup.
