Hi all,

first of all, as far as I can tell, everything works okay.

But:

I have two 486 boxes on the isolated piece of ether.  I've set
up networking between the boxes, and they see each other and
communicate okay, but *very slowly*.

The ether cards are SMC Elite Ultra's, 83-something, which used to
be recognized as 8216 w/16 kB of RAM at 2.0R times, and are 
recognized as 8416 w/8 kB at 2.05A.  They did work okay on 2.0R!

Right now, my NFS read (cat something >/dev/null) runs at
approximately 200 kBps, and FTP get is someplace between 200 and 450 kBps.

These numbers seem rather low to me (NFS used to be ~670 kBps but FTP
only 200-250 kBps, at 2.0R)

What am I doing wrong?

(sorry about to few details, I have no internet access from home)

Thanks, (for all the great work so far, etc :)
