OT: Effective Speed of 10BaseT

<Unfortuantly the only options for a Mac these days are Appletalk or Samba, <NFS doesn't seem to be available. I could FTP files, but that's more of a <pain that long Xfer times. There is no IP? The DEC appletalk stack works but it's an additional load, not fast and doesn't route (ATK encapsulated does route). <In this case the only traffic on the network was between the Mac and the <VMS box. Which is why I was so surprised that the performance was _that_ <bad. If I'd have had a bunch of other systems on the network talking at <that time I'd have not been suprised, but the only other system up was my <firewall. the firewall may be interacting. Those numbers are on a par with old MVIIs with DEQNAs and MV2000s (ca1988). Allison
