Question for Chris: Does that advice go for OS X, or just System 9? I'm surprized to see Speed Disk listed as something to run on OS X systems.

Note for Steve: the BEFW11S4 is a router, not a bridge, so it is likely that it does *very* different things with packets. Given that the WAP11 passed some packets just fine and only showed problems on some TCP streams, I can easily believe that adding router functionality would change things. Also note that Cory uses a WAP11 with OS X just fine, which indicates that the problem I'm having (and that he is not having) could be network-related, although that is incredibly hard to diagnose. The packet dumps I did showed that WAP11 wasn't receiving some TCP packets in a stream, FWIW.
