externally, it's not "minimum bandwidth", it's "uninterupted bandwidth".. a network "burp" can be a disaster for a remote..

got it! That makes sense! Well, what would you say that the minimum bandwidth would be then, with no interuptions...?

also, make sure oplocks and write caching are disabled, local share is true, etc..

Ok, sorry for my naivity, but you lost me on the oplocks and write caching. I recognized the local share set to true from BDE System Init Settings....but not sure about the others
