Lines: 31 Well, after all the discussion back and forth about FTP speed on the Macintosh, I went out and did a few experiments. All of these were with NCSA Telnet 2.3, with a release letter dated July 15. Make of it what you may. Disclaimer - I am not speaking for Apple, your mileage may vary, etc. Sun 3 -> Macintosh II, NCSA Telnet with NCSA TCP code - 4.4kbyte/sec ASCII, 4.9kbyte/sec binary Sun 3 -> Sequent Balance (for comparison) (didn't have 2 sun accounts) 75kbyte/sec ascii, 212kbyte/sec binary Sun 3 -> Macintosh II, NCSA Telnet with MacTCP, 8000 byte write buffers 35kbyte/sec ascii, 45kbyte/sec binary Sun 3 -> Mac II, NCSA Telnet with MacTCP, 65536 byte file buffers 43kbyte/sec ascii, 45kbyte/sec binary Sun 3 -> Mac II, NCSA Telnet, MacTCP, write calls commented out (no disk traffic) 49kbyte/sec ascii, 48kbyte/sec binary File write benchmark, Mac II with SC80 hard drive - 8000-byte buffers - 277kbyte/sec 30000-byte buffers - 452kbyte/sec 100000-byte buffers - 385kbyte/sec [note - I'm not too confident in this benchmark, especially the 452kbyte/sec figure. ] Peter Desnoyers Apple ATG (408) 974-4469
