I got:

ttcp-t: 733945856 bytes in 563.28 real seconds = 1272.45 KB/sec +++

Christian got:

ttcp-t: 858750976 bytes in 711.51 real seconds = 1178.66 KB/sec +++

Check the rates. They are 100 KB/s off or so, but close. Not so good though.

What I did was cat a file from a NetBSD/i386 machine (1 ghz Athlon,
100baseT Intel Pro card) to the Qube2. This same file going to my
FreeBSD 4.10 server (dual 366mhz Celerons, 256 megs of memory,
100baseT Intel Pro card):

ttcp-r: 733945856 bytes in 92.65 real seconds = 7736.41 KB/sec +++

Quite a bit quicker. This is on the same hub. Today was slower than
yesterday probably because I'm doing more stuff on the source machine.
But still way faster than the Qube.

Apparently the Qube with it's native OS (Linux based) doesn't have this problem.
