okay i tested it using rsync and ssh with compression off and encryption
blowfish.

It was faster but still only about 2M a sec.  that was beetween an ultrasparc
and an AMD K6-350 with scsi drives.  I transferred the same 34MB file.

I think the only explanation is:

1) one card is using 10MB's.
2) the network is really flooded.
3) the machines are really loaded down. - most probable.
4) bad network cables - seems to be a lot of collisions.
