So I measured my Comcast cable broadband speed both directly to an AMD64 FX PC and then through my Ultra 1 with 10Mbit onboard ethernet connected to the cable modem and a 100Mbit card facing the AMD64 (through a gigabit switch.)
The download speed through the Ultra is 80% of the direct connection and the upload speed is less than half, 47%! (4103kbps vs. 5044kbps and 168 vs. 358) The Ultra has been updated and is running 2.4.27-3-sparc64. Firestarter is my choice for configuring a firewall. The Ultra is also running Apache2, X, dhcp and samba servers, sshd and has 384 MB RAM. Is this expected?! Should I just give up on this obsolete hardware? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
