One of the reasons for investigating PUP-FS (see previous msg) is that
using TCP-FTP is really losing:  5 HOURS to sysin from an otherwise
unloaded Sun file server, and erratic hanging when trying to sysin
from another 1186 on the same net, running TCPFTP.SERVER.  Since normal
lisp-based TCP file transfers seem quite brisk, I conclude it's the
SystemTools code which is at fault.  Anybody any ideas/patches/similar
experiences?
