I think your 486 computer is not the limiting factor. I have a firewall-router with masquerading on a 33 MHz 486 compu, connected with a ne2000 compatible ethernet card to a cable modem. The operating system is "Linux on a flop" (Linux Router Project, kernel 2.0.16). Often data transfer rates have values like 30 kb/s. > > Any hints to speed that up? > No. sorry.
