Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2.5 from the Walnut Creek CD set, with no major problems. However, when attempt to use any network functions (telnet, for instance), my performance is very very slow, comparable, or worse than a modem. I have a 3Com 3c509 ISA card which has worked fine in Windows 3.x, Windows 95, NT, OS/2 and Linux. I found a reference to poor performance in the newsgroup archives but it refered to "buggy" drivers in the 2.1.x distribution. Are the drivers still buggy, or is there something I can do (short of buying a new card, as suggested in some recent posts in the newsgroup). I don't appear to be getting buffer overruns or any similar thing. Thoughts would be appreciated. thanks, Sean PS. If you could please CC: back to me, that would be appreciated. I'm not currently on the mailing list. thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ Sean Lyndersay Logic is a systematic method for coming lynders@hcs.harvard.edu to the wrong conclusion with confidence. ________________________________________________________________________ [finger for all other info] http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~lynders To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
