Netbios is netbios....how do you "optimize" it anyway? Netbios is a MS protocol which implies an MS OS. I'd assume that whoever wrote samba had in mind that it would most likely be talking to MS boxes otherwise why use it? I've been able to get up to 7.5MBytes/sec at ideal times doing big file transfers. Thats about 60-65Mbits/sec from linux to 98 with no tweaking. Thats optimized enough for me! :) Heh...as for the price, well, thats what i *used* to pay from places like CDW for Intel eepro100 cards. Havnt bought any for a long time so Im sure they've come down. Plus, when we buy at work we usually pay the traditional corporate markup cost too. So your telling me places like Best Buy are selling Intel nic's for $35?
