Actually, I wouldn't consider that normal at all.  At least in our situation
(Mac II w/ SE/30 AppleShare server) we get closer to 65kb/sec transfer(1.3MB
file copied in 20 sec.)  Many things can affect this, of course. The NCSA
software may be a bottleneck, as could be the host system.

The EtherTalk board is not the problem.
