Gregg wrote: At the least, update the drivers for it on the computer it's connected to. Another way around it is to get a 10/100 managed switch with several ports. That way you can connect the DSL modem to the switch and program the switch ports for what's connected to each one. The switch will properly autonegotiate with the modem. News: Today I tried to download a big attach with eudoralite. Couldn't believe my eyes. The speed was almost 10 Times faster than with Musashi. Backcheck: Even though I upgraded Musashi's version the speed remained awfully slow. (It looks good, but a 68k isn't really the machine it was written for!) Thanks folks for your help. For sure changing the modem's setting or sandwiching a hub/switch could improve my downloads even more, but waiting 4 minutes for 5 megs is at the moment OK for me. It's just strange that a company distributes software with such big bugs in it, claiming it's written for those who stick to 68k...

Hi all, I have a very fast ADSL connection (up to 150 kB/s), but my LC III (20 MB Ram Fpu) and my Asante nubus Chipset LC 20028 Nic card (MacCon-A, 32k Ram, 7.3.5 Driver (That's what the Asante utility displays)) don't really seem to care. Downloading a 2 MB attach can take me up to half an hour! What's the problem? Hardware (there's a fpu slot or similar on it) or Software (Drivers are from the macmuseum)? Can I swap the fpu to the card? (does it make any sense?) What should be the max speed achievable with my setup? Thanks in advance... john At 15:23 -0700 on 30/10/02, Desert Fox wrote: I just wish I had a pile of the 100bT NuBus cards lying around. They aren't PCI 100bT but they are indeed faster than 10bT. Care to back that up with evidence? The SCSI bus on most 68K Macs is hardly enough to saturate 10BaseT, much less 100. -- the pickle -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: was: nubus ethernet
Hì pickle, Yes indeed I have an Alcatel ADSL Modem for Voice over IP (dhcp server) which probably is an autonegotiator! My email client (musashi 3) is too particularly slow compared to eudoralite. I'll test eudora with a bigger-than-normal file. Are there walkarounds? (The Modem belongs to the phone company, so it's not changeable) cheers john the pickle wrote: I have a very fast ADSL connection (up to 150 kB/s), but my LC III (20 MB Ram Fpu) and my Asante nubus Chipset LC 20028 Nic card (MacCon-A, 32k Ram, 7.3.5 Driver (That's what the Asante utility displays)) don't really seem to care.

Asante cards seem to particularly hate trying to autonegotiate speeds and duplexing. -- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Gregg wrote: Any NuBus or LC NICs that can run full duplex? Luigi, see if you can set your router, switch or hub manually to 10 Megabit per second and half duplex on the port your old Mac is connected to. I'm sorry Gregg, but my ADSL modem stands alone. It's connected to the phone line and a splitter for doin' voice over IP calls and I can't really change any setting on it as it's not installed on any machine. From the modem goes an Rj45 to my NiC... Tomorrow I'll test the downloading with Eudora, as I have a sentry that the email client could be the source of these long downloads Gigi (Luigi) son -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
