I'd check to see that an intermediate hop isn't holding you back. I've got a P166 providing firewall/routing for 2 T1 connections and 3 logically seperated internal networks with no problems. I frequently attain full 1.5 Mb/s speeds on my upload/downloads over either circuit. Additionally I have another smaller site that uses a K6 300mhz system and has no problem getting full 1.5 Mb/s on downloads (its on a ADSL circuit, so the uploads are throttled to 384 Kb/s). The short of it is, that your hardware most likely isn't the problem. -- Jamin W.
