 No printer, nothing other than tcpip with 3 machines attached transferring via ftp.   Current setup has 3 OS/2 boxes attached.

 No proxies, nothing except telnet and ftp.   2 routers do behave different.  Linksys would suddenly crawl, Dynex would fly and
lock up.

 Changed .nif file for cards on ftp server and client to 100 half duplex.   Transferred 7g over ftp though only in chunks.   These cheap
routers seem to slow down when pushed a bit.   Must have been something wrong with Linksys router from new (white box
special).  New router has 4 times ftp throughput.   Full duplex functioned OK between Accton/Intel with slow Linksys router.   Once
had normal speed Admtek nic seemed to balk until half duplex set.

 Will check this.  Router issue appears solved!
