Hello *SMers,

One of our clients has just acquired a new pentium server with 256MB memory,
running sco unixware v7.1, and even informed us in advance.

We downloaded the latest sco unixware client (IP21633), and installed it,
expecting to have no problems.  Unfortunately, we found that the throughput
we achieved was of the order of fractions of a kbyte per second, and the
session frequently died with a 60 second timeout.

We tested the network by ftping a 100mbyte file to another system, getting a
throughput of 85KB/sec, and also by nfs copying the same file, where
throughput was fractionally less.

We also tried setting compression OFF, but this made no difference.

In the end, we have nfs mounted ALL the filesystems on the sco box onto a
poor little sparc classic, and are backing it up this way, but this is not
satisfactory!

Our server is v3.1.2.1.

Has anybody got any ideas??
