Ive got Kingston combo cards, but am using coax (I think 10base2). I played around with samba for a bit, but never could get it to work quite right so put it aside for now. In the process of getting intimate with sendmail and procmail. :) Though now that you mention it, if samba give the through put like that then wouldnt an FTP session from a 95 to a FBSD box over a local lan give the same info after a file was transfered? Have to try that. Thanks! Keith
