I call it like it is ;) What's tardy - the transfer rates, or my "word picture"? ;,) >I get 1100 kb/s from win9x -> freebsd over 10mbs with 5mb+ executables using >the command line ftp client running in half duplex. You could try ensuring 1100 kb/s = 1.1Mbps. Unless my math is wrong, this is not great either when 10BaseT with Cat5 can do 4-10Mbps according to the books I've got here on my desk. Of course, your rate is a heck of a lot better than mine. >that whatever you select, both machines are set to the same settings. No >autoselect/hardware default nonsense.

I didn't realize that they might have enhanced the "enhanced". I'll check into that as well.
