I think the 38400 baud connection is a bigger issue than the CPU load. When I get Ethernet working I think there is a decent chance that I won’t need CloudFlare—especially if I can find a full 32-bit server that really uses the potential of the 386. Now to wait for that card to arrive in the mail. ;)
Edit: If you want to visit the page directly without CloudFlare, go to http://trombone.zapto.org http://trombone.zapto.org instead.
- orangepurple 4y agoI guess the next challenge is gigabit ethernet (!!!) for the 386
- serentty 4y agoThere are 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) cards for the ISA bus, which in practice can apparently be around 50% faster than 10 Mbps Ethernet over such a bus. However, they seemed pretty expensive compared to the ubiquitous 3com Etherlink III that are available quite cheaply. I think Ethernet will still make a huge difference in terms of serving this site.
