I can read these fine, Andre must be going through some web proxy that
corrupts them. :)

All of the computers in the dumps are on a LAN, right?  There seems to be
quite a bit of packet loss going on, from what I can see.  This is most
certainly the cause of low throughput; we'd need tcpdumps from both ends
to really determine if there's some suboptimal tcp interaction between w2k
and freebsd.  (From a single side of the connection, we can't even be sure
if retransmissions are getting through, etc.)
