Not just theory - I have measured 79 Mbit/s between two Pentium-133 boxes running FreeBSD, with 100BaseTX and a crossover cable. That was almost a year ago - I believe the results would better today. Getting 5 MByte/s from DOS is another matter entirely. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
