How do you access the internet from your machine? Specifically, is there a gateway router (talks Ethernet to your local network, talks ATM or Carrier Ethernet with your ISP) or cable modem involved?Some of these devices are rather simplistic. They can pass traffic between the internet and your local network, but they are not necessarily willing or able to rewrite or reshape the data traffic. This can be problematic if the TCP/IP stack used in your local network does not have certain features which were introduced in the early 1990'ies. AmiTCP and Roadshow are among these, but Roadshow has one or two features which AmiTCP lacks.If such features are lacking, and your gateway router/cable modem is smart enough to rewrite or reshape the data traffic that passes through it, then you might still get decent data throughput, since this device can (up to a point) make up for the deficiencies of the TCP/IP stack.But if both your TCP/IP stack and your gateway router/cable modem are unable to compensate for each other's weaknesses, then the results may be disappointing.
