Jim,
The majority of the traffic comes thru three 10BaseT OSA-2 ports and one
10BaseT 3172-3 port. An additional 10BaseT 3172-3 port is lightly used.
I have a lightly used FDDI OSA-2, being phased out because FDDI has
fallen out of favor here. I have an ATM OSA-2 card that I hope to deploy
as soon as the network infrastructure is in place. My larger clients
(mostly HPUX) are being migrated to a 100BaseT (FENET) OSA-2 (installed
two weeks ago). I've had a single client back up as much as 4.7GB/hr
thru the FENET card. We are experimenting with some tuning options to
see how much that can be increased.

Sound exciting? Without ADSM/VM Version 3 this will all be junked. And
not by a different flavor of ADSM...
