Erik, I managed to get AMITCP with NetFS running to try as an alternative. I'm way past the 120MB mark now and still no problems. If you want to set it up, here is what you need: AMITCP.LHA (version 2.2), TCP23.LHA, NETFS.LHA. I don't remember whether they're in AmigaUser or AmigaTech. Install AMITCP, then install the TCP23 update over it per instructions. To install AMITCP, you have to work around a couple bugs in their installer (isn't this _fun_?). First, do _not_ install it from RAM: or another dir into your destination dir; Make your AMITCP drawer where you want then de-arc AMITCP into that dir; Give the installer that dir to install to (install over itself). This avoids having missing subdirs which AMITCP install forgot to copy. Before you run install, ASSIGN AMITCP: to your drawer (install expects it to be assigned, even if you've never installed a previous version before). Now you can "safely" run install. If you have problems getting it to work, just let me know. Basic transfer speed is about the same as Envoy, but "random access" type operations like dir scans are much slower. I don't know if ths is the fault of AmiTCP or NetFS. -Chris
