I have two computers under my care, just down the street from each
other. They both run Slackware-current with a 2.6.12.3 kernel,
althought my problem was there with 2.6.11.11 kernel as well.

Machine A is connected to the Internet via fibre while Machine B is
connected via DSL.

File transfers (email and scp) from A to B are fine, no matter what the
file size. Large files from B to A bog down and usually time out. As a
test I've sent myself an email from A to B which redirects back to me at
A and it only took a few seconds to make the first leg, but still didn't
get delivered almost three hours later.

This behaviour is consistent. Frankly, I'm at a loss as to where to
look. Any suggestions?

Mike
