Hi,
For FTP speed I would recommend looking into the Kinetics/Excelan/Novell
product "HostAccess" aka LANWorkPlace for Macintosh. I'm biased towards
this product because I worked on it. But in my limited testing I never
saw NCSA or Connect II get over 40Kb/s. With HA v1.11 and TCPort v1.11
I could get 120Kb/s occasionally, and usually ran at 80Kb/s. As usual, your
mileage will vary, and I honestly don't think that version of HA has much
to recommend itself other than the faster speed - it's low in features
and high in price. Some very small information about this product may
be extracted from salespeople, but being a TCP/Mac product in an
IPX/PC company, don't expect much. Sigh.

I'd be interested in hearing any new numbers about ConnectII. (Hi Gage,
Kurt!)
