Dear Managers,
I have a 164lx motherboard 533 mhz chip and DU4.0b with 2 Genuine DEC tulip
ethernet cards.
The tu0 is currently the only one being used.  It is hooked into a 100 mb/s
hub which is in turn hooked into a switch.  It is on a network of
Intel/Linux boxes which all have clone tulip cards (Netgear FA310tx).
Communication between the linux boxes occur as expected as does data going
out of the alpha.  However data coming into the Alpha is extremely slow
(whether nfs or ftp).  
Here is an example of speeds with ftp client run on the Alpha:
ftp> get testfile
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for testfile (19908479 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
19908479 bytes received in 1.1e+02 seconds (1.8e+02 Kbytes/s)
ftp> put testfile
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for testfile.
226 Transfer complete.
19908479 bytes sent in 3.7 seconds (5.3e+03 Kbytes/s)
Here's some relevant info:

tu0 is also aliased with two additional ip addresses.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
