The PC is a Pentium Pro 200Mhz with 64MB and runs win ME, the notebook has
a 3Com PCMCIA network card and it is a Compaq Armada 1590DT, Pentium MMX
running at 166Mhz with 48MB , and has win98SE installed. That is
Kbytes/sec, Juha.

What I also found is that if I have Norton Personal Firewall running on the
Desktop, well, that really affects the download speed adversely!
