It`s a shame Holger no longer supports or handles registration for Miami, so the only legit way to get a TCP stack is to either buy a second hand copy of Miami, or get the AmigaOS3.9 update ( I never can remember if Genesis was in 3.5 or not !)..or track down someone still selling the NetConnect CD.

BTW, whatever happened to all that stuff about the legality of Genesis a couple of years back..something todo with someone selling rights they didn`t have to H&P

Network transfer rate  is dependant on the CPU.
 On my 1200 030/50 it roughly averages at around the 200-250KB/s mark using a CN40BC card..mind you that is using Samba to transfer files.
 I`ll have to see what the other A1200 040/40 with a Kingston card can manage tomorrow.

@Oldsmobile_Mike
 Have you looked at amigasamba.org ?
 Setting up a *basic* Samba service on the Amiga is fairly easy, you just have to remember that Win98 and above use encrypted passwords.
 Also, have a look through the Yahoo! amigasamba group mailing list, there`s bound to be people who have had similar problems to you on there.
 I`m off out and about for the next few days, but your`re welcome to PM me to help get it going
