OK, if you want it to do "80+ Mbit" that would be 10MByte. This value is possible but I have never seen it - there are several potential bottlenecks like your HD. My brother and me tested the throughput once in this way: Create a ramdisk with a big file (need much memory for this) and wget it with the other system which sends it right to /dev/null so nothing has to be written on the HD. IIRC correctly we got about 7MByte/sec under these special circumstances. Phil
