I replied to an older thread of the same earlier today, but getting
this much through a P166 is even better.  That's over 40 Mb, which is
more than I'd expect to get through that slow of a box.  That's about
the max throughput of a WRAP or 4801, at 266 MHz.

I'd be very happy with that.  If you need a full 100 Mb, you need a P3
or better.  Your bus and/or CPU, or a combination of the two, is the
bottleneck.
