Actually, you should probably try:
	ftp> get ghostscript-5.10.tgz /dev/null

to get the network speed, although ttcp is better...  ;-)

~300KB/s sounds a lot like the disk speed.  I don't know if the
network speed is much higher, though.  There's a lot of overhead
in handling the nubus interrupts--I don't know how much room for
improvement there is, or how much improving the interrupt 
overhead would improve the network performance.
