That may all be true, but it won't improve the speed of file serving with system 7. > >> If you wanna have a faster >> server, you can do two things: use a faster Mac (like a 68040 or >> higher) >> in order to overcome the lousy I/O of system 7 or use that Mac IIci and >> install system 6 and AS 2... > > I need 7.1 or later and OT 1.1.2 to run IPNR - sorry Marten ;). Mmmm... We are not talking about a file server here. We are obviously talking about some routing device.... In that case you are better of with system 7.1 or higher indeed. > >> Not that I use any kind of system 7 on my client >> machines.

I don't have that much problems with system as server OS. My own server runs 7.01 and AS 3, I hardly ever have to reboot it. It has run for months, 24x7. I never turn its monitor on, it just sits under my desk without a keyboard, only a mouse. Routing I do the proper way: using a hardware router with a inbuilt (limited) firewall. > >> On the 3 clients in use at home I run : 6.05, 8.1 and X. > > I have 3 System 7 machines (LC - 7.0.1 from it's original install disks, > SE/30 - 7.1, LCIII(475) - 7.6.1 and solid as a rock) an iBook running OS > X and an 840av running 8.1 (it has a 40 GB hard disk in at the mo so > needs HFS+ :) ).
