I just installed Solaris8 x86 on my old PC... PII-266, 192MB RAM.
Of course, my first, and perhaps last ftp transfer was kermit ;-)
I have K95 1.1.20 on my 1GHz WinMe box, the latest beta-8 on Solaris.
ftp runs about 13KBps, and kermit with "normal" prefixing, runs
about 7KBps. Changing the kermit to "wild abandon" moves it up to
12KBps, but that's still a lot slower than I expect for kermit or ftp,
with only two computers on a 10BaseT link.
Is Solaris x86 really slow? Even my Adaptec 2940 and 4mm DAT give
dreadful performance, about 50KBps. I forget what it was on Unixware on
the same box, but I thought it was pretty snappy.
