So I suppose I really have two questions. Why isn't the ethernet connection faster, as fast as the SCSI port can allow? And why is MacWWW so slow -- much, much slower than NCSA Telnet and Fetch?>> Perhaps the fact that the SE has an 8 MHz processor and bus speed with 1 bit video and is limited to 4 MB RAM? Web browsing has become more processor intensive over the last decade or so due to the nature of contemporary web page designs. Text only, Telnet or Fetch is definitely the best you can do. The more you can free up the processor, bus and video limitations the better you data transfer will be.
