>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

        This is a vanilla fresh FreeBSD 2.2.5 install on a Pentium box
        with an ISA NE2000 board network clone.

>Description:

        The machine works flawlessly when connecting to anything but
        another FreeBSD host, both in the same subnet and remotely.
        However, when I connect to another FreeBSD host, network reads
        are fine, but writes consistently fill up the output buffers
        very quickly after which transfer come to a complete
        standstill.

        I've seen this connecting with four other FreeBSD hosts: one
        in the same subnet, one via PPP, cvsup.freebsd.org, and
        cvsup.de.freebsd.org (via CVSup).  

	Flawless network connects work to Solaris, AIX, and Linux
        boxes that we have here.

>How-To-Repeat:

        Engage in any network activity which involves having my
        machine network-writing to another FreeBSD host.  In
        particular, CVSup does the trick quite quickly.

>Fix:

	I've found no way around it.
