That's okay on a dual proc system. They're two stock P2-400s -
no other platform, really.

What IS a framing error? Also, the switch will show collisions
when transfering data from this machine (lots and lots), even
though it's basically on its own networkt segment.

Cable yes, NIC no - I'll try.

I've got two more questions:

1) How much throughput should I get on
	FTP get
	FTP put

on 100 mbit/s? If between 3 and 5.5 MB/sec is ok, then really this
second machine is the only thing broken...

2) Any idea why transfers on the first one flood all consoles with
error messages?


Thanks
