Ray, I disabled the serial ports. If there was a winmodem in this box, I would remove it (or as my brother says, "gank it outta there") since it is a router. I'll disable everything I can when I set one up. I happened to choose IRQ 3 for this card because I could set that by jumper, and therefore avoid finding the configuration software, booting to DOS and setting it that way. The other two cards (smc-ultra.o is the module) I did take the time to software configure.
I was reviewing the configuration closely (ie verifying correct modules, etc) and realized that I was loading some packages this router did not require. The reason for that was I built it from my own router and modified through lrcfg to the specifications I needed for this application. I removed some packages that I had for OpenVPNz dependencies - no effect on throughput. Then I removed qos-htb and tc. Voila, the router, through 2 ancient ISA 10MB nics, was moving 597Kbs, more than enough for this application. I saw a line in the qos-htb config (prior to its removal) setting a cap at 120K -exactly what I got in my best case scenario yesterday. Its probably the default, since I haven't taken the time to learn exactly how traffic shaping works and as a result I ran into this problem. Thanks everyone for your help and I hope someone else benefits from this exercise. I've learned a few things along the way. - Bob Coffman ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tell us your software development plans!
