Try it under Finder.  MultiFinder takes its overhead, also, you can
set the timeslice= parameter in the configuration file to indicate to
MF that you want more time for NCSA Telnet.

The Ethernet boards are very unlikely to provide any hardware problems. If
there is a hardware effect, it is the SCSI drive which tops out (based
on our buffering scheme) at 80KB/sec.  When we threw the data away in
a specially modified version, it went up to 120KB/sec (under Finder).

MacTCP can help, it steals its time from MF under interrupt time, so 
there is less overhead in the protocol processing.
