Lines: 13 Mousepower is more like it. David Lipkke of University of Texas, Dallas, did a thing called the Texas Shoot Out where he measured the performance of the various network attachment units for the IBM channel. The 8232 is generally regarded as a loser, being an IBM-PC with a channel interface and an Ungermann-Trout Ethernet Card. The winner was the BusTek box being both faster and cheaper than the other choices. You might try asking the question on the IBMTCP-L@CUNYVM mailing list where you're more likely to get informed answers. No, I do not have the telephone number for BTI. -Ron
