If so, is it only supported if it is As well (or as bad) as it used to be supported for quite a long time. I had to assemble a router for a customer recently with two 3c509's, and the cards seem to stumple every now and then when trying a continuous multi-megabyte stream routing over it. However, they unwedge themselves after a second. The overall TCP rate over both cards was ~ 180 KB/s (that's not very much indeed). > taken out of plug and play mode, and will I need a DOS machine to do > this?
