I don't do well with my slow machine (web crawler indeed) but even it manages 
15 KB/s using ncftp. Andrea tells me his setup does 40 KB/s or thereabouts. 
Curious as to how well this compares to a null-modem serial connection.. 

This weekend I was planning to look into nfsroot and try to get the other
machine to boot up over the PLIP connection. Just for kicks, you know.

Does anyone have any info on doing this?
