If your network people are anything like mine, they might still blame it on
clientside architecture/load. Try using TTCP or WinTTCP to test your
throughput. You can set it to throw packets at your discard port.

Test FTP speeds versus ADSM backups.
On HP: 10.20 use lanadmin -x NMID to check the interface configuration
HP 11.00 use lanadmin -x PPA to check the interface config.
Make sure the network is configured the same. Make sure these are no
alignment errors. Make sure you are not going though a router since they
are 100 MB.
