Ziff-Davis "netbench" for DOS, Windows, Windows95, and Macintosh clients against SAMBA and/or NFS and/or Appletalk servers. Ziff-Davis "Winbench" in an emulation environment. Note that "Winbench95" does not use Windows95 WIN32 interfaces -- it's still mostly a 16 bit code benchmark, for what that's worth. I'd like to see Ziff-Davis port to UNIX, but I think it's unlikely.
