I'm using BSDi to connect to the internet. I'm using a dial-up IP service
so through put it limited to 14k4 and compression. The IP service serial
ports run as 38400 and I've often have FTPs running over 3000cps.

There are ethernet drivers with BSDI that will run at the full 10Mb/s.

BSDI is very stable and I'm very happy with the system...

Recomended!
