Hi, After I installed A/UX 2.0 on a IIcx and finally acquired an Ethernet card for it, I found that being on the net in fact causes A/UX 2.0 to "choke". Before I put the machine on ethernet, everything runs fine with localtalk. I use NCSA Telnet to ftp sources. After I installed the Ethernet card, and reconfigured the kernel. The system sometimes just hangs for 5 to 30 seconds, then comes back. Sometimes it gets so bad that it appears to have crashed. I have known that if the network is too busy sometimes a system may choke because of the traffic. However, I can't be certain this is the case. Does anybody have similar experience or an explaination for this? All replies are welcome, thanks in advance. Peter Chen
