Interesting!  "between" being either way, or only one way?

Turn off rfc1323 and see if it gets better.  If it does, there's something
corrupting packets.  I've heard accusations that this is a result of a "bug"
somewhere in the timestamp code.  You might look at upgrading the BSDI box
to 4.1, just on general principles.  ;-)

FWIW, I have no FTP problems over 10Mb network between my 1.4Q NetBSD box
and either my 4.1 BSD/OS or my 4.0.1 BSD/OS.  I don't have a 4.0 for testing,
but I believe I did some tests with 3.1 when I had it (this woulda been around
1.4M or 1.4N that I last had the chance to try it), and it was fine.

4.0.1 <-> 1.4Q:
9461760 bytes received in 10.1 seconds (939107 bytes/s)
9461760 bytes sent in 10.9 seconds (871719 bytes/s)

4.1 <-> 1.4Q
9461760 bytes received in 13 seconds (726089 bytes/s)
9461760 bytes sent in 10.7 seconds (883129 bytes/s)

FWIW, this is over a non-trivial network; it's actually
	1.4Q <-> 1.4D <-> BSD/OS boxes

but that "shouldn't matter".  ;-)
