I think it's one of the switches, or maybe the combination of those (one Planet FN-SW102 100 Mbit and one Foundry B15000 with the ports of our machines running at 100 Mbit), because we have the same slow transfer rates in this network from unixware to unixware. I did some tests yesterday directly from a redhat AS 2.1 to a unixware machine via cat. 7 crossover, and I didn't have any problems. And over a Planet switch (100 Mbit) there also were no problems. But thanks for your tip!! I'll get back and report what the issue was for the archives. Sven
