	[a bit off-topic]

A colleague of mine is using 3Com 9300 SSII gigabit switches
in tandem with 3C985B-SX 1000baseSX NICs (we don't support those, do we ?)

Using NT (Compaq PII-400 boxes) they get 132~133 Mbit/s (tested with netperf),
thorough the switch.

3Com has drivers for Linux (2.1.131), but I wonder if Linux would
be realistic enough for this kind of tests -- any suggestions ?

131 seems a bit low -- I've heard of 250-300 Mbit/s on that kind of hardware
(maybe not with NT :-)
