large FTP fails

So far, Compaq has not been able to help me - perhaps someone here has had
this strange problem before:

We have recently been unable to FTP large files from one of our ES40s to
another. Small files transfer just fine,
but large ones (say, >1 GB) get so far and just hang.

We were able to prove it was hardware related by swapping hardware from one
system to another and the
problem moved. Compaq thought it was the PCI backplane so we replaced it
but the problem still exists.
We drop virtually all incoming packets - outgoing is fine.

Any ideas? I am out of them and am about to call Compaq hardware support
back and argue with them again.

        Thanks in advance,
