Mark,

My mistake, it should have been KBS (Kilo Bytes per Second).
Sorry for the confusion, I was working on another project while responding
to your request.

Darren, I have an easy (and probably stupid) question for you.  You
stated that you see a sustained transfer rate of 1,400 CPS.  What does
CPS stand for??

Thanks, Mark Danczak

We backup all of our Novell 3.12 servers using compression and have
seen no limitations as of yet.  We backup CC:Mail databases nightly
that range from 800MB to 1.2GB.  We use ADSM/6000 as the server and do
all our communication through TCP/IP.

We also pass data using TCP/IP between FDDI, Token-Ring, and some
leased lines connecting other FDDI and Token-Ring LANs to our main
location.  We use Wellfleet and Cisco routers.

As far as performance,  with local machines I see sustained transfer rates
of approx. 1,400 CPS with Novell 3.12 clients.  With Novell 3.12 clients in
non-local locations I see sustained transfer rates of approx. 1,100 CPS.

Hope this helps.
