Are you sure ? I run a HP Vectra XA 5/200mmx with 32 MB and have 4 x 3Com 3C905B and 2 x 3c509B. I have one USB-Modem connected to the USB-Port and two other Ethernet-Modem-Router to the two 3c509B. The 10MBit Nics are for my publicnet, privatenet, securenet and wavenet (Proxim Tsunami MP.11a). I can transfer without any problem around 5 MByte/Second between the publicnet (ftp/web-server) and the privatenet (workstation) My old Router (LRP 2.9.4) had done around 30 MBits on a 486dx4/100 with 5 nics 3c509B So I think, you can have realy more on a P1/100 Greetings Michelle
