About Processor Speed

 Processor speed rating is determined by

 Processor clock speed (90 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 233 MHz, etc.)

 Processor type (80486, Pentium*, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, etc.)

 Number of memory wait states (0, 1, 2, etc.)

 If your computer has a slower rating than you expected, use SPEED to

check the processor’s speed rating.

For example, entering SPEED for a Pentium II processor running at 333

MHz got the following rating:

Processor speed: 26288

 Some computers have an Auto or Common processor speed mode that

can reduce the clock speed to as little as 6 MHz.

 For NetWare

6 operation, the processor or processors should be set to

the highest speed. If your machine has a slower rating than expected,

check the processor speed setting. For instructions on how to set the

processor speed, see your computer’s documentation.

SPFCON

Purpose

The SPFCON utility enables you to monitor Sequenced Packet Exchange

(SPX

) spoofing statistics.

Spoofing is the process of preserving the transport end point connection by

imitating keep alive packets and responding to watchdog request packets

without passing this traffic across on-demand WAN links.

Using SPX spoofing can help you maintain lower costs over on-demand WAN

links.
