Date: 22 Jun 1995 15:47:54 -0700 Organization: Best Internet Communications, Inc. (info@best.com) Lines: 10 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3scruq$svd@shell1.best.com> References: <3s00ca$h3h@clarknet.clark.net> <DAJKxK.CJs@nemesis.lonestar.org> <3sc1dj$f9m@dsk92.itg.ti.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: shell1.best.com I purchased the SMC Fast ethernet eval kit (1-800-713-7488 Dept FD2) and got 100BASE-TX up and running with the de driver with little trouble, after adding in the "link2" option to ifconfig. The performance is pretty good, I see a maximum of 6.32 MBytes/s TCP bandwidth, with latency about 500us. I put all of my PVM, MPI, and NETPERF data up on http://www.geli.com/data/net.perf.html, if anyone would like more details. Regards, Russell
