My sis630 (incl. the sis900) bases Celeron-633 laptop is much faster (using
a 2.4.16 kernel here):

portable:~ # ./netio 192.168.1.1

NETIO - Network Throughput Benchmark, Version 1.13
(C) 1997-2001 Kai Uwe Rommel

TCP/IP connection established.
Packet size 1 k bytes: 10259 k bytes/sec
Packet size 2 k bytes: 10146 k bytes/sec
Packet size 4 k bytes: 10288 k bytes/sec
Packet size 8 k bytes: 10317 k bytes/sec
Packet size 16 k bytes: 10248 k bytes/sec
Packet size 32 k bytes: 10173 k bytes/sec

This the sis900 one as a client over a hub and a switch to a 3c59x - and
the other way round:

server1:~ # ./netio 192.168.1.5
