With unloaded systems we get about 60kb during file transfer. With one heavily loaded system and one lightly loaded one we get about 45kb. We run 2.?bsd and had a few problems, not many, during installation. Our problems were due to the fact that, as the previous msg said, it IS big. They have tried v. hard to make it a "drop in" product, and have done a good job, but the 2.?bsd systems are just too huge, as normally run, to avoid some hacking during installation. (3com is now more experienced in 2.?bsd-ese than they were...) It seems relatively bug free and robust. Our general users have not been unleashed on it yet -- that'l be the really telling blow. /b
