I have an A4000 with A2065 that gets about 1MB/s from FTP on local network.  Mediator Ethernet is about 1.1MB/s from FTP on local network.  

I don't understand why someone would buy a Zorro Parallel card then plug an also very slow plipbox into it.  

You can get an X-surf for a little more that is five times faster.

Looking at the numbers, an IO card will not speed up the parallel port for this but it sure helped my serial modem. On the parallel side it helped my printer. This on an A2000 W/ 030/40.

Because why not?  I have a plipbox already and thought it would be a fun project to do.
