There's a minor bug in SunOS 4.1's ftp command that cause it to print
crasy transfer rates. For instance, this is the result from a FTP transfer
between two Sparcs running SunOS4.1 and connected by a 9600 bauds leased
line:

ftp> put contacts
200 PORT command successful.
150 Binary data connection for contacts (192.33.15.111,1472).
226 Binary Transfer complete.
local: contacts remote: contacts
9931 bytes sent in 1e-06 seconds (9.7e+06 Kbytes/s)

Hope it will be true some day :-)
