I would expect a throughput will over 10Mbps on this system. I very well could be that I have one or the other drivers configured incorrectly.

Depending on the machines transfer from/to I have gotten 9.8MB/s using ftp.
That is from a 600Mhz Athlon (Linksys Etherfast) to a 300 Mhz AMD K6II
(3com509).  I am not setting any options for the tulip driver.  It screams
compared to 10Mb/s
