I'm having performance problems...

I have a thin ethernet with two hosts, a NeXT (25mhz 68030, 4.3 BSD)
and a pc (4.77mhz 8088, ka9q Version="113090", 3c501 with packet
driver v 7.2 from Clarkson).  When I try to ftp files between the two,
I get throughput on the order of 12kpbs for small files and large
files end up timing out.  Is this the kind of performance that I
should expect given the crappy hardware on the pc or is something
wrong somewhere?  If the latter is the case, can someone give me
pointers on tuning for better performance?
