Wow, this fixed my FTP-over-DSL-to-6.2 problem too. With modulate state, I was getting ~30K/sec. With just keep state, I'm now getting more like what my connection is capable of. This is between two 6.2 hosts on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Ted, I use pf because I like the format of the configuration file, I like the logging and pftop, and like how it's harder to lock yourself out of a remote machine by accident :) /JMS
