WE are using FreeBSD as our OS and an Apache HTTP Server. Our problem is one of download speeds. We are connected to the Internet with a 56 K line. Our server downloads ok at about 6.0 kb/s. All of the Win 3.1 machines connected to us with 28.8 modems download at about 2.5 kb/s, however all of the Win 95 machines connected to us download at about .8 kb/s with the same modems. Additionally when they download a file directly from the server, whether by http or ftp the speed continues to drop with time and with large files times itself out. Where do we go? Thanks, Noel
