for a special event (see http://www.1010.org) we are trying
to get 2.0.1 running on a p6 with an intel ex board.

at the moment ftp performance is around 1kB/sec.  yucko.
the behavior is bursty.  transfers a few kB then times out.


everything else seems to work peachy-keen.

any hints/clues/suggestions, rapidly appreciated.
