Could someone possibly  please explain to me why, 
with ony 12% & %20 packet loss to the hosts
respectively, it may take over an hour to ftp
a 200k & a 65k file over to my Uni hosts, 
going via sl0 using dip/slip, while I can ftp
a 200k file from another host at a different uni,
further away, that also has a ping reporting of
20% packet loss, in 5 mins flat via the same port?

that is ... outgoing is slow, incoming is fast? weird?

I'm using kernel 1.3.89 at tis stage.

TIA,

Cheers,

		Rob
