put your *.iso image on a local disk on the same system as
your dvd burner

you should be able to be run at 75% of the thruput of any network
	10Mbps ---->   1MByte/sec
	100Mbps --->  10MByte/sec
	1000Mbps --> 100MByte/sec  ( 7sec to transfer a 600MB cd image )

if you're running slower ... it'd probably because
your nic is too slow ( aka realtek ? ) or your cpu+memory
is the bottleneck   

or you have a mixture of incompatible 10Mbps devices mixed in with 100Mbps
devices and 1000MBbps devices
