Has anyone been able to set up a Mac II with an ethernet card so that
it can transfer data faster than 30 kbytes/sec with TCP-IP?

Here is the setup I have:
Mac II, color, 5 M ram, 80 M hard disk, NuBus ethernet card (Apple?)
      NCSA Telnet

Best I have been able to see is around 15 kbytes/sec -- wonder if
something is thinking 230 kbaud appletalk someplace.

As even a XT can do better than the Mac II, I hope there is something
I can do to improve performance.

Responses such as 'I use MegaNet and get 150 kbytes/sec' would be 
very helpful.

	Thanks,

		Scott
