Now this is really strange, what can possibly cause this? There is It isn't directly relevant, but I saw similar problems with a Racal-Interlan NI6510 card (ISA DMA lnc-type card) under Linux some time ago - in fact the slower the host the better the throughput :-| (386-33=~250kB/s; 486-100=~50kB/s). Note that this was mostly a problem with connections via a router - connections from the same segment weren't as bad, but I could never get transfer rates as good as with a SMC EtherEZ :-(. Driver problem most likely in this case. BTW, the machines involved were Compaq Prolinea desktops. If you can, I'd suggest ditching the internal NIC and using an fxp supported NIC. > also some settings in my BIOS that specify what OS i'm using.

ISTR that Unixware has been found to work well in these Compaq BIOSen. > ----- Original Message ----- {...} -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
