Hello Eric and the Thinkpad list:
Pretty interesting that the Linksys PCMPC200 is no longer working
but was working before. I think some Xircom's had their own chip in it
and some had Intel's 8255x chip in it. I think the Intel and IBM versions
of the RealPort card are identical to the Xircom ones. What's extended
passive mode and also were the speeds the same when you tried initiating
the ftp session on the Windows machine to the Linux machine since for some
reason, for FreeBSD atleast, the if I ftp from the FreeBSD machine to the
Windows box and send/receive, it's 6.4MBytes/sec or about 50Mbps. But if
I did ftp from the Windows machine and send/receive, it's 3.2Mbytes/sec or
about 30Mbps or so. When I meant ping times, I wasn't talking about ping
times on the LAN since all of mines are under 0.10ms through my HP
ProCurve 4000M 40 port 10/100 managed switch. I'm talking about the DSL
Router on the other side of my DSL connection at the ISP since the latency
is 5-6ms more from a Windows machine than from the FreeBSD machine. Here
is a message I posted yesterday on the FreeBSD Mailing list. I bought the
LinkSys PCM200, NetGear FA511 and the Siemens/Efficent Networks SS1012.
