The decent testers (such as a professional cable installing friend of mine uses) do a full range of tests, at both 10Mbs and 100Mbs speed, including cross talk, attenuation + a host of other things. The customers gets a certificate _per_ connection, listing all the details... The decent testers use proper TDR techniques to do a full range of testing, more than just "The wires conduct, and their in the right order at both ends" :-) > > Fastest I've seen on my setup (doing anything useful) is around 9Mb/sec going > > from my WinNT box (with Intel Pro 100B) to my FreeBSD -current box (also with > > Pro 100B). > > Hmmm, how large of a file do you have to transfer to see the max > speed? Typically around 2Gb's... I do a lot of DVR work, so I always have large files kicking around :-) > What about from FreeBSD to FreeBSD? =) Don't have two boxes to test from... I've toyed with replacing my current NT install with FreeBSD, I guess I just love Delphi too much :-) [hence need Win32 :)] + The company database runs only under Win32 so far...
