It's very fast, perhaps the same as yours, for transfer between various 
Linux boxes, but it's this 2 hours coming from the AS400. This is 
perhaps due to a possible duplex problem I have with it and that the OS 
applies some throttling.

Now the network is getting a bit more under control - no upgrades for 
around two years due to other issues - I'm finding a number of 
performance problems with the AS400 which I wasnt involved in when the 
machine was installed. But there you go. :-)

Just checked on my LAN here. 92mb file in 15s at work, on the machine 
causing me problems, that would have taken over 22m and perhaps, 
depending on network load between my other boxes the same as mine here. 
So I know now it's not something strange with 9.0 but possibly the 
card/driver. OK the AS400 has it's problems but it shouldnt be *that* 
different between 8.0 and 9.0!

I'm working over Christmas this yeare and it's only at month end I do 
such large transfers so while I'm in I'll put  another card in but I 
will problably try the newer driver before then.

100 full duplex. This box is my first with a gig card in it.

Kev,
