Are both boxes set up the same hardware otherwise? What are you transfering? What machine are you using as the other end of the ftp transfer? FYI, I've hit 4MB/sec going from FreeBSD 2.2.8 to Win95. Think when I get home tonight, I'll do some timing tests dd'ing from /dev/zero on one machine, through rsh to /dev/null on my other FreeBSD box (can't do it right now because my server is always on, but my test machine is off right now.
