* Setup BONDING PPP (128Kbps)
* NFS mount a large file system (say, FreeBSD/packages-current) directly
  form the host you PPP to
* cd to the NFS mount point
* find . | cpio -dmpv /somewhere/else
* Go about your business
* Wait about 20-30 minutes

[ I don't really expect you to do that.  This is the setup I am using to
  ``prove'' the problem ]

I understand the procedure and it works well.  I was inquiring about 2.2
userland and -current kernel.  Guess your answer is ``no''.  the more I play
with it, the less I like it (the hybrid idea).
