	If it's specific to '95, then you might have a mismatch between
	the improvements you put into the server and the corresponding
	tuning parameters on the client.

	Back in windows 3.x, `RWIN' (receive window) was somewhat
	oversensitive: setting it too small caused a sudden drop-off in
	performance, too large ate low-memory buffers.  Ditto write.

	Could Some Kind Person say what the win95 and NT registry
	items and their values are?  I could then prognosticate
	about what should happen in a mismatch (:-))
