Are you kidding?  I have seen 100Mbytes/s when ftping a file to a PS/2
running AIX with a ESDI controller and 16 bit ethernet controller.  I can
consitently get 20Mbytes/s.  Hell, I can get 11Mbytes/s sometimes to a PC
running DOS.  This is a ISA machine with a 16bit RLL controller.  I don't
see your problem.
