HI I''m trying to increase my bandwidth so that I can access all of my T1. My NICS are all Intel Server adapters. RedHat offers scaling but only to a maximum of 262K. Does anyone know how to increase the bandwidth by increasing the scaling factor? Does anyone know how to combine to Intel Server NICS to increase throughput?

You need to be much more specific. Mike

RedHat offers scaling but only to a > maximum of 262K.1) 262 kilobytes (KB) or kilobits (Kb)? Note: 262 kilobytes would equate to 2 megabits. A really cheap ethernet card will do at least 3 megabits per second ... 10 is the minimum rating, with 100 being more common now. Your ethernet card(s) is(are) not the problem. -- Michael T.
