Hi Wilfredo,

in the beginning of using ADSM here in our company there was the same problem 
(Server:OS/390 Rel.2;
Clients: OS/2, Windows NT, Netware). Meanwhile we know that there are two 
sources for this problem:
IBM 3745: A very small bottleneck for the datatransfer to the host. It is much 
better to use an OSA-Adapter.
TCP/IP-Routing: Tune the routers for the datatransfer between the clients (PC) 
and the server (host).
We started with 200 MB/hour, now we are never slower then 1GB/hour.
