BMUG uses an SE/30 for its AppleShare fileserver, along with the 40
meg drive it came with. The sucker is still VERY SLOW. They're using
PhoneNET, though, not EtherTalk, so I'm not sure if this will help you.
Also, they're getting a couple of new external 300 meg drives soon.
An SE/30 is actually faster than a IIx or IIcx, this has been discussed
before many a time. So, if I were you, I'd get the SE/30, it's the
fastest one on the market now.
