The small business I'm associated with was hoping that SOSS was the solution
to it's networking problems, so we set up a test with one PC running SOSS,
and the other PC running PC-NFS 3.01. As a test, we attempted to transfer
a 0.5MB file from the Server to the Client. This transfer took 14 seconds!!!
Attempting to copy the file from one directory on the Server to another
directory on the Server caused a stack error and crash on the Server. The
server was running PC-Kwik as well as Qemm.
Has anyone seen similar performance, or can anyone report much better
performance? I can't believe that it is this bad, but I can't think of
anything that could be causing problems. The same ethernet cables are
currently supporting a LAN running PCI but I don't think that should cause
any interference. How does PC-NFS 3.5 differ as far as performance is
concerned?
Any suggestions/pointers/information would be greatly appreciated.

This transfer took 14 seconds!!! I am running the latest version (?) of soss, the one with 1024 byte packets. I run it on a 33 mhz 386 under a DesQview window with various other things going on in other windows. a 400k file takes 5 seconds to copy using cp from the pc to my 386 UNIX system. Is a little slow, but faster than a floppy! -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
