That's on the order of 500-550 >kilobits/sec -- about what you might expect for gigabit Ethernet. Oh, gosh, no. That's really quite low for 10 Mbit, the original. I expect to get nearly 1 MByte/sec on my 10Base-T connection between my old Mac and Linux machines, using Netatalk, doing large Finder-copies. If I had 100 Base-T on both ends (if I could get the driver working on MacOS 8.6) I'd see much higer speeds. Gig-E should be able to do 50 MBytes/sec or more, depending on hardware, etc. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
