Receiving files to the FreeBSD machine >works ok -- I have recieved files at >800k/s. I suspect the card/driver. If this is a 3c501, then the solution to the problem is clear: get a different card. It only has space for either a receive packet or a send packet, but not both (in other words, it's a piece of junk that has no chance of working well). I think the 3c505 has similar problems dealing with the real world. -DG
