Here is some more info.  I'm seeing horrible performance in every
type tranfer I've tried.  Must be some basic networking problem at
fault.
scp 'ing the same 169MB  
time scp -r  News/agent/nntp/enews* exp:/

   <I ^C ed it finally ... saw many `stalled' messages
real    50m35.984s  <== still had not finished (only 116MB had been transfered)
user    0m1.260s
sys     0m2.420s


Trying an smb put of 25MB I get a timeout after only a few thousand
bytes are transferred:

  smb: \> put enews.tar.gz
putting file enews.tar.gz as \enews.tar.gz Error writing file: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds
Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds closing remote file \enews.tar.gz
