	This might just be a network card problem: check
	with ftp on the various machines to see if the problem
	is peculiar to samba, or peculiar to one machine.

	In particular, use ftp to copy **both ways** and look
	for big differences in speed.

	Modern 10/100 half-/full-duplex cards are remarkably
	picky about being set exactly the same as the hub
	they're connected to!
