I have 2 Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B cards in 2 machines. The first machine is a Win95 box and the second is a FreeBSD box. They are connected with a cross-over cable (which causes them to run at 10Mbps). My question is what should I be seeing when I do an ftp from one machine to another in terms of the amount of data per second that is transfered? When I start up a window with trafshow -i fxp0 it gives me the CPS that is transfered. This number seems to be lower than I expected. I get anywhere from 6,000 to 40,000 but it mostly stays around 8,000. Have I got a configureation problem here? or is this normal? TIA Adam W. Hawks awhawks@ibm.net
