And faster than 10BaseT, only 3 times, but better than plain old 10
Mbit/s ethernet. Nevertheless poor performance.

BTW: Did some quick and dirty measuring today: 2 x DEFPA, one in my PWS
500au running Tru64 5.1 one in my PC 164 500 MHz based box. The PC164
was pumping 5 MB/s with NetBSD 1.6-BETA2. 10 MB/s when running Tru64
5.1. NetBSD needed about 60% CPU (!) for its work, while the PWS 500au
was more then 90% idle during the transfer. Uhh.
