I have a 486DX2/66 running FreeBSD 2.0 as my router/gateway, it's serving another Unix box and three OS/2 boxes. With two 28.8Kb USR Sportster V.FC for the PPP connection, I get about 120-130ms pings on the router, and about 120-130ms on the secondary machines (over ethernet). I think the latency is too small to be accurately measured, but I'd still put it at 3-5ms. Sound good enough? > D'Arcy J.M.
