I don't know if my network is misconfigured, or if it's just a result of using real hardware on a remote node. Nearly all of the real hardware that I'm aware of on HECnet is actually very fast; significantly faster than pretty much any emulated system. The slowest system I'm aware of on here is my PDP-11/53. Keep in mind, on here you've got 600MHz Alphas (performance like a 2.5GHz x86 box but with better I/O) and you've got emulated VAXen running on 700MHz ARM processors...which do you think will be faster? ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
