Yep, 

this script fails:

rsh machine1 dump bla | dd of=/dev/nrst0 (1MB data)
rsh machine1 dump bla | dd of=/dev/nrst0 (300MB data)
rsh machine1 ls                                         \
  or                                                     |   this fails !!!
rlogin machine1                                         /
rsh machine1 ls                                   this works after 1 minute
rsh machine2 dump bla | dd of=/dev/nrst0 (180MB data)
rsh machine1 ls                                  
rsh machine2 dump bla | dd of=/dev/nrst0                     this fails too
rsh machine2 ls                                   this works after 1 minute

it seems heavy traffic blocks rsh for some time.

Lars.
