In addition to paying close attention to b's and B's, I have also
decided to take what ftp says as merely a best guess for the transfer
rate. If you transfer a small enough file on a fast enough system, one
can see ftp report transfer rates of 3-4 MB/s (closely watched b's and
B's ;-) on an *ethernet*  ;-) ;-) ;-)

Just about any new WS worth it's silicon should be able to go memory
to memory at full ethernet speeds using TCP...
