Hi there, I'm new and I think these forums are great! I didn't know there were so many old Mac users out there

I have a Quadra 610 running OS 8.0, and connected to the internet by an AAUI to 10BaseT ethernet dongle. Using Netscape 4 (or other browsers), I am able to connect, but the speed is horrible. Netscape displays the download speed in the status bar and the most I have seen it is 4.8K/sec. I have DSL, and newer computers have good speed. Any ideas?

In case it matters, a Power Mac 6100 with the same AAUI ethernet dongle works just fine, and is plenty fast (or at least what you might expect).

Thanks in advance!
