You might want to point to the Netperf results at http://www.cup.hp.com/netperf/numbers/NetperfBrowse.html which among other things have a 100BaseTX result (look under Fast Ethernet) submitted by me a year ago. I measured 79 Mbps between two P-133 hosts running FreeBSD, using SMC 21140 based cards. FreeBSD certainly hasn't gotten any slower since then... Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
