I was having problems using mount_smbfs to transfer files.  It would  
throttle itself up and down because of some weird windowing thing  
windows does.  That is what I found on the web anyway.

On a what type of network(some config info please, like any switchs?)  
do you share files and what is the throughput?  I would get between  
1-12mbits(it was a while so these numbers might not be right, but it  
was slow like 10mbit or less).  I was transferring tv episodes between  
2 pcs on a 100mbit switched network.  FreeBSD to windows.

Finnally I would like to ask all those servers/pcs that are mostly idle  
to run folding at home if you can.  Email me if you have any questions on  
it.  It runs itself at nice 20.


Thanks,
Jason
