I don't have NetBEUI or IPX/SPX in the list of protocols. The server does
have a fixed IP address and the hosts file business is taken care of - and
has 'always' been.
Nevertheless - I long for the speed of the local access ...
As an example of server speed: I have copied records from one database to
another (both local, of course) at the speed of about 2000 records/sec
(declared record length approx 500B) using a Delphi program with IBO (no
particular optimizations) and Fb/0.9.5 (I think).
