In a previous post, I complained of sluggish ftp performance (6-7 kb/sec).
I discovered later that I can ftp files to a sun sparcstation ipc and get
120-130 kb/sec. Ftping files from the same machine still yeilds only
6-7 kb/sec. This is quite repeatable.
I wonder if anyone has insight into this. I don't mind mucking about in
the kernal testing things out, but I am relativley inexperienced in this area
so I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
I am using an ne2000 on irq 9. I don't know if that is relevant.
Also, NFS is very slow and it tend to lose contact with the server and then
freeze up.
Thanks, Greg greg@megas.ecse.rpi.edu
