I'm not sure what MS is calling the tcp receive window. In freebsd, you can set many system parameters using sysctl. If I remember correctly, you want to set the parameter net.inet.tcp.receivespace. You can get a complete list of settings with command sysctl -A. You might also try scanning "man tcp" for any pertinent information. I hope this helps.
