What OS? 10.1 SMB was slowish, I'vew not had much of a chance to test 10.2 on a live network. On a dial-in connection smb is glacially slow; afp is mereley like using a dial-in connection to transfer files, ie works ok. If you have OS9, DAVE is real nice in that it works, but it's slower than molasses a lot of the time, too. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
