Removing the bktr didn't solve the problem.  I get about the same reported 
speed on dslreport (http://speedtest.cogeco.net) with the same 2-3 seconds 
delay before data is sent.  

I pushed my tests a bit further to find that TX (outgoing speed) is about 50% 
that of what I get in XP and RX (incoming) fluctuates from about 60% to 85% 
in XP. What I did is a dslreport in Windows and in FreeBSD and also 600MB 
file transfer on my lan both ways. Bktr or not, the speed is the same.

So the bktr is going back in.

Any suggestions kindly appreciated,
Nicolas.
