I wonder if > this has to do with the box you are talking to? That seems *really* slow. I'm getting 3.6K/sec on compressed files, and 11K-14K/sec on text files with my 28.8K SLIP connection with modem HW compression turned on. I get a consistant 3.4K/sec using kernel-PPP w/our Internet connection with all kinds of files, and often get much higher throughput with compressable files as well, though it's hard to measure it directly given the status of the Internet as of late.
