Hi,

I'm considering using a 486 box running a free unix clone as an NFS or RFS 
fileserver. The most important thing here is of cause the transfer speed.
So I have a few questions to you BSD users:

- What speed can I expect for an 486DX-66 with a LocalBus ethernet card?

- Which cards are supported and which one to use?

- How about stability?

(- Is RFS supported? At the sametime as NFS (on a another card) ?)

If there is an FAQ please point me to it. I don't expect the speed to be
expected to be in the FAQ, so please answer my first question.

Thanks,
