The new FBSD box replaces a BSDi on older hardware, with everybody on the LAN now noting that ftp of big files to and mail with big attachments to the new FBSD box are dramatically slower than the BSDi box. Anybody have any idea how to speed up / fix the transfers to the fbsd box? thanks Len www.menandmice.com/DNS-training : DNS Training BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND for NT4 & W2K IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
