24 Mb is a minimum for the ULTRIX O/S and DECmcc for ULTRIX.
As to whether it is "easily" reachable, depends what you mean by reachable.
As you set up more alarms, or historical recording, etc, you will need
more resources (especially memory) to maintain performance.

A user is a unique UID running DECmcc.
The swap space requirement is based on the number of management modules
running at the same time. Since multiple PMs (FCL or Iconic Map) sessions
running under the same UID share single copies of the management modules,
you only need to expand your swap space when you add more UIDs.

With only 16Mb of memory, your system performance is degraded badly
because of swapping. Furthermore, with a 65 Mb swap partition, you must
not yet be running all of the management modules. At some point you will
try a new function, and it will fail (and likely with an unhelpfull error
message, unfortunately), due to the lack of swap space.
