Hi folks,

i have a problem. I'm running a little network, with a windows95 machine,
a PowerMAC 9500 and a linux machine (P200, 32MB) as server...

This network runs since several months, and there appeared some serious
problems i don`t know how to solve them...

First, the problem with the non-ascii characters, as mentioned two or
three days before in another mail. So i hope, i will get some solutions
from there..

Second, when opening a winword-file from the MAC on the linux-machine, it
takes nearly one minute to open this file...
Doing the same with Windows95 is much faster.

I know that the harddisk in the linux-machine is a slow one, but before
buying a fast SCSI-Drive i want to know if this is a common problem, that
the MAC is slower than the PC.
Is there a possibility to influence the speed of the connection from the
MAC???

Thanks in advance
Oliver
