(a no-name and a Genuis) Both these cards give 1000k / sec on all of my FreeBSD machines except my new one. My new PII400 (BX chipset) gives just 200k / second on our lab network. Perfect test conditions - no other network traffic. New PC has 128 Megs of RAM, tried both AGP and PCI video card and runs SNAP1998-0804. Any ideas what is going on? bye Roger Hardiman Strathclyde Uni Telepresence Research Group To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
