Xin LI,

Thank you for your help.

Setting sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso=0 resolved the issue completely.   What 
does sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso=0 do?  Where can I read more about the 
option?  I captured tcpdumps of a single file transfer to 7.1, 7.2 and 
7.2 with sysctl net.inet.tcp.tso=0, but they are to large to attach to 
this list.  Let me know if you are interested in viewing the dump files.

Thanks again for your assistance!
