And unfortunately I couldn't recognize any such size in the code,
possibley due to a lack of knowledge of C.
Instead, I tried using the window parameter in the route command, as
suggested in the Ethernet-HOWTO. using 'window 2500' raised my speeds to
350kb/s (a 3500% speedup!), but now ftp transfers die and give me a
'illegal seek' or something every time the file (any file) reaches about
4MB downloaded. So, what am I doing wrong this time?
