I looked at the captures of win98 uploading to amithlon and redhat. They are not rabbit-pellet mode. The protocol is using full sized packets, 64K chunks, and has between two and four packets on the wire at a time. There are no flush commands present, which is the main characteristic of the slow transfer mode.
Those two transfers appear to be operating rather quickly, with end-to-end response time in the 6-10ms range, and streamed packet intervals around 30us. I measured one 64K chunk taking 260ms to be transferred, which is close to a 2Mb/S transfer rate.
Is there something else I should look at?

Please send a copy of any tcpdumps to me as well, if you would. I spent
a lot of time characterizing the Rabbit Pellet transfer mode. I'll
recognize it right away, if that is what this is.

I have an current "issue" with Samba 2.0.7 and an Win98 box.
Peak at ~800kb/s one way, 20-30kb/s other way (10MB enviroment)
I have some captures I will show Chris.
Could be relevant in this contex..
Otherwise, sorry for the OT :)
