If I NFS mount any other unix box other than a PC box I have to use a block size of 1k. Otherwise I get ring buffer overrun problems on NFS reads. I dont think this is a code problem just that you cant suck out the data fast enough on the ISA bus. I assume this problem will go away when someone provides a driver for an EISA or PCI ethernet card. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Chris Stenton chris@gnome.co.uk Gnome Computers Ltd Tel/Fax: 44 (0)480 406164 25A Huntingdon St, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, PE19 1BG
