Not sure if i't what you're asking for, but...

RH 3.2 on a pentium 75: 10Mb coax w/ 3Com etherlink III combo cards...
        As a workstation - ~7Mbps transfers through a linux router (exact
same specs as the workstation - used as a dynamic router, but no DNS - this
was supported by a SUN server) - this had 10Mb ether on each side...

RH 6.2 on a PII-450:  Same ethernet cards as above, two different
configurations for the internal network - used to be on thin ether (50 ohm
coax), recently migrated to CAT-5...  Transfer rates between M$ Win98 & the
server ~8-9Mbps.  Through the server - running apache, samba, masq'ing
connections, ipchains firewall, sshd, sendmail, & some other stuff - maxed
out the throughput of the cable modem (~1.5Mbps down & 256kbps up)...  Load
meters during biggest loads (starting a game on the server & piping it's
output through X windows - while doing a large download via ftp/http) showed
my disk doing some peaky stuff, but the processor kept a load average below
10%...  When the game quit loading, I could hardly tell a difference between
a transfer going through or not...
