Tjeerd, the tape drive we are using is an IBM 12/24 GB DDS-3 4mm Internal
(SCSI) Tape Drive. It's attached to the Netfinity, the rate with uncompressed
data should be 1.1 MB/sec and 2.2 MB/sec with compressed data.

  I know it's difficult to get that theorical rate, and the usual is to get a
lower one. However, 1.1 GB in one hour and 38 minutes, it's quite a lot. Which
rate should I expect using Shared Memory protocol, with client and server in
the same machine, and version 2?. What I know it's that there is not version 3
for OS/2 yet.

 In relation to the LANRES test, I know this is difficult and it depends on the
configuration, but the customer asks me again which is the rate they should
expect using LANRES.

 Thanks for your help,
                                                           Mariajo.
