Well, we have about 15 VAX-11/750's on a Pronet ring here, running
Gurwitz' 4.1 TCP/IP code, and we are seeing file transfers (in image
mode) around 250-300 KBits/second.  I'm not sure I understand why
you're seeing such poor performance; do you have the latest distribution
from Rob?  I understand there were some improvements in the "sys.8"
code...

BTW, the IP implementation itself runs somewhat faster.  Using a locally-
designed protocol for updating remote bitmapped displays (running directly
on top of IP), we see data transfer rates of better than 400KBits/second.
This is still not superb, but it's not too unsatisfactory.
