Um, no. 100MBit full duplex can transfer nearly 12MB a second. Only newer hard drives will get this kind of performance. I suspect that the problem lies with scp. On my local network I experience transfer rates of less than 200kB/s with scp because the server is an old Pentium 133 with not enough horse power. With plain old rcp I get up to 6MB/s on a 100MB (half duplex?) link. Ciao, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
