It must be a pretty heavily loaded T3 -- it only takes me about that long
to send an ISO over 802.11b at 11mbps.  A T3 can do a peak of around
5MB/sec, which can send a typical ISO in around 2 minutes...

I was mucking around with RAID-1 mirroring of a local disc to a remote disc
and was getting rates of up to 12MB/sec on the transfer...  I don't think
I've ever seen anything else go that fast on a 100mbps ethernet...  Makes
me wonder where the bottleneck is in FTP transfers...
