I'm doing some simple testing to see if FreeBSD is feasible as a terminal server. My first test of 2.2.5-stable, using only two ports simultaneously, indicates there is considerable efficiency loss due to transmit underruns. Next I'm going back to 2.2.2-release which reputedly performed better, and I'll try the same test on a different box to rule out hardware contributing to the problem. John
