Your cables were shielded, right? Have you tried with a single
shielded (and crossed, of course) cable between the two PCs
for comparison?
And how did you test the speed? On the Amiga (10Mbps) I've noticed
a huge difference between different ftp clients and servers, just
because some use asynch I/O and larger buffers. Oh, and on
a 100Mbps link I suppose it might be useful to tweak the TCP
window size and such - I've never tried that though.
