No impact.

Also, on someone else's suggestion, I've tried using "ping -s 8000" to
check for packet loss.  This gives me a loss of 0.1% (1 packet in 1000
or 2 in 2300).  The only oddity is very large RTT's - up to 3 seconds
- whilst an scp is running (14.6msec otherwise).  Even when the scp is
in "go-slow" mode, the RTT's reported by ping can still be 1-2 seconds.

I'm wondering if this is a problem with the NIC or driver.

Peter
