Using NT (Compaq PII-400 boxes) they get 132~133 Mbit/s (tested with netperf), thorough the switch. 3Com has drivers for Linux (2.1.131), but I wonder if Linux would be realistic enough for this kind of tests -- any suggestions ? 131 seems a bit low -- I've heard of 250-300 Mbit/s on that kind of hardware (maybe not with NT :-) -- Division by Zero error -- multiplying by zero to recover.
