Speed ok amiga network

[stopthegop]

You should be able to get *at least* 1.2M(BYTE)/second between the two machines over ethernet, I would think.  I have an A4k with an X-surf card and I am able to ftp back and forth with a wintel box at that speed.  Its faster by about 100kilobytes/sec when I use a crossover cable and have the amiga and peecee plugged right into each other vs. patching them through a hub or switch.  I would make sure you don't have one or both of the Amiga's set to half-duplex and that they are both set to 10Mb transfer (full-duplex) with identical packet size definitions on each machine.  I use asynchronous transfer/no parity bit/256k block size/10mb xfer/full-duplex.  250k/sec is too slow, imho - something ain't right.  I can go that fast (almost, anyway) with a null modem cable over serial -- with a high speed serial card installed in both machines, that is.
