I don't know if this is related or not but the onboard Ethernet on my 7200 is horrible. Netscape will download a file at 1K/sec or even slower. I tried the ethernet port and the AAUI port and they both do it. This is connected to a 24 port NETGEAR 10/100 switch. When I put in a Realtek 8319 10/100 PCI card and used it instead, Netscape downloads at about 100K/sec.

Coincidentally, I also junked a 24 port switch with my 7200. Hmmm...

I just recently added a 100Mb RealTek card to my 7300. The 7300 has a bad builtin NIC. If I recall correctly, NetBSD had issues with the NIC on the 7300.

Has anyone ever managed to get Gigabit Ethernet on a beige box? I'm compelled to give it a try, but I don't know that Classic Mac OS would support such a contrivance. (Contrivance? I've been reading too many of Equil's posts. [] ]'> j/k )
