As for a bad cable segment, is there something unique to FreeBSD that would cause such a problem to be show up, considering that I have no problems getting speeds of 200K/s under Win95/NT. sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
