Quite an interesting thread. We've seen this problem but not involving RHEL. It was between HPUX and a Windows host separated by a frame-relay link. Transfers would bog out after a few hundred KB. The link got replaced for other reasons with a much faster one and the problem seems to have gone away. Like you said, probably just masking the true problem but still interesting.
