In your dreams !
cdrom.com used to handle 500 simultaneuous ftps transfers using just a
P2 500 running FreeBSD.  ( They have upgraded since )
Here is a quote from them:
"Recent benchmark results running BSD/OS on Intel 486/66 processors
show speeds faster than a Sun SPARCStation II running Solaris. The
Pentium processor compares favorably with Sun SS10 when running BSD ".
