I just spoke with the client (won't be onsite again until tommorrow) and, after rebooting server A, throughput is now 6.2 megabytes! I'm hoping that it won't be necessary to constantly reboot the server -- does anyone have any experience with servers slowing down and having to be rebooted? -- Larry
