I must confess, this is totally new to me.  It blows my mind how is it 
that today we talk about terrabites, gigabites and 10,000mbps up/down 
etc. and still look at it as "slow".

In the not so far back times, xenix with 28k modem and a 10mb hd ran an 
outfit with nothing more than a couple of multiplexers to handle all the 
serial lines between locations.

You mention "windows clients" - Is the drag caused by the client or the 
application?  I really never heard of filePro to be a drag or hog for 
bandwidth.

I appreciate the educational info!

Thanks,
