Hank,

We were disappointed to see you put the figure 25k next to our FTP
performance, before we had responded.  As you will see below the correct
figure is 189KBytes/sec (= 1.5Mbs) in the to-the-PC direction.  In a couple
of cases, I have  have expanded one of your columns into  two in order
to be able to say YES (but still being completely honest).  The information
reflects the capabilities of WIN/PC as it currently exists in alpha test.
