- That's what I thought too, but repeated experiments have proven that that's
- not the case.
-
- EVERY time I try, the Amiga web browsers get the "packet a min" transfer
- rate, while NS runs full speed. This includes tests where I will switch from
- one to the other, back to back, as fast as I can - and the result is ALWAYS
- the same.
-
- For whatever reason, the servers at these sites are having problems with
- Amigas, or perhaps the Amiga is having problems with these servers. Either
- way, there is definately some difference between MacTCP/Netscape and
- IBrowse/AMosiac/AmiTCP3, at a networking level.
