[olug] Speed

[Mike Peterson]

What type of connection are you using DSL, Cable, other?
What program are you using to perform the download?
What type of network card are you using?
What type of program are you using on 98 to check the speed?

I have a 486 dx2 66 running Linux as a gateway and I am downloading through
it to a 98 client at up to 300K as per a speed monitoring program for 98.
It is netstat live from www.anlogx.com that I use.

I am using 3com ISA 10 MB NIC cards on the Linux gateway and have a 10/100
on the 98 system.
