Subject: Re: [LIB] A couple Lib questions
"..over a 5 MB/s cable"... Is there a special cable specificaly for gigabit
networking? Or are you talking standard CAT5/CAT6 cable John?
You said you'd bet it would be fast. That sounded like you hadn't tried it.
But then you said that connecting yours over a 5MB/s cable went full speed
(5 MB/s?). I'm a little confused there.
Maybe you're saying that since it worked for you, it should work for me...
yes? That, maybe because you're taking into consideration the differences
between the OS setup & related software, and the state of health it's all in
at this point... yes?

I'd be willing to bet it would be very fast. over a 5 MB/s cable connecting
mine went the full sped.

Has anyone set up their 100/110 Lib on a gigabit based network? I know
with the slow CPUs, we're not going to see amazing transfer speeds. But
when Raymond pointed out that USB2 cards have controller chips that
supplement the Libs's slow CPU, I found my MP3 transfers to a CF card with
a USB2 card increased by 5-6 times or more. Would the same be true for a
gigabit card? It'd be nice to be able to transfer MP3s right to the Lib
via a gigabit network cable if it can speed things up to at least what the
USB2 connection can achieve.
Also, I think my EPR has always had something wrong with it. I suspect
the connector between it and the one on the Lib. Every once n a while
I'll suddenly experience W98 undocking the system without any input from
me (that I'm aware of... maybe a little bump does it). The PCMCIA sockets
in the EPR can be pretty flakey too. Network cards have often had
problems if I put them in the EPR. Has anyone else experienced these
sorts of problems? I though maybe I ought to get a can of contact
cleaner, and spray down the plug and socket on the EPR & Lib 100.
