i upped the buss speed on my main offl ine cruncher to 182x11.5, now it is acting like a 2800. I've also found that the client likes Win98SE over ME, 2000 and XP. The latter three are cpu and memory hogs! If I can do this on a handful of systems anyone can do it! Sneakernet just requires you to be creative (zip disks and CD-R's)!
