  You are certainly getting good throughput. My comments were based on
previous experience with someone who wanted to get a dowload from me to
a VMS system. You may have a better version, better connection, or less
loaded machine. All I can comment on is what I have observed, which was
slow.

  In general slow line turnaround caused by communications or machine
load will severely impact thruput, and adding buffers will improve
performance under these conditions.

  I thought the recent discussion covered this pretty well without a lot
of qualifiers.
