atossa->Run cdrecord with -dummy first, that way you won't ruin a blank disk,
atossa->to see whether your network and ssh pipe are fast enough.
atossa->
atossa->Run cdrecord with less than the maximum speed supported by your burner
atossa->until you find a speed at which the network no longer is a problem.
atossa->
atossa->On 192.168.1.1:

atossa->ssh 192.168.1.2 "cdrecord dev=whatever speed=whatever -dummy -" < solaris.iso

atossa->Or something like that, anyway.

Thanks, I didn't think of adjusting the speed. Great advice, thanks.
I'll keep you posted. :)
