Minor correction. I'm getting about 800Kbs. I had a moment of shock and
dismay when I realized that somehow, even though the mc interface was on a
different ip address that I had ftp'd and ssh'd to, the traffic was going
through my sip* interface. However, I have disconnected the sip* card from
the network and removed the /etc/ifconfig.sip0 file

Net7300# ifconfig -a
sip0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:00:94:cb:df:4c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier
mc0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        address: 00:a0:40:71:3e:86
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        inet 192.168.10.73 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255
        inet6 fe80::2a0:40ff:fe71:3e86%mc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

and rechecked. It works fine, albeit about 25% slower than the sip* card.

Phew.
