 Hmm. I get rather varying results, from 60kB/s to 370kB/s.

   When doing a get from another workstation in the office onto my
RiscPC I get loads of eh: no carrier errors. The more I get the slower
it goes. When writing I get more variety...

eh: Interrupt not serviced
eh: Receive Error: packet received intact (this should happen)
eh: no carrier

 but I do seem to get less of them, allowing transfer rates up to 350kB/s

  Interestingly enough, netstat -i doesn't seem to report any output errors.

garp:/etc> netstat -i
