We speed- tested it on an 8Mhz AT, resolving cached names about 20% slower than our Microvax II. Because of O/S limitations, we couldn't include the Berkeley mechanism for doing zone transfers. If people need it, we can try to do something when/if we port 4.8 (which of course depends on how this one sells...). I don't know of anyone else doing anything like this (although we aren't the only vendor to offer an emulation of Berkeley sockets on the PC). James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.
