There are a number of benchmarking tools for NFS out on the net so you can get an idea where the bottlenecks are that you seem to be experiencing since it could be anything from your CGI, slow disks, slow network, slow OS or anything inbetween and not excluding misconfigurations. I'm pretty sure that a properly configured NFS relationship over a private netowrk is going to be far faster than anything you can write in perl to transfer over ftp/http. NFS on linux is async though and may be slower with the SCO box if its NFS is sync. Tuning NFS has been a career for some people :) e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
