You mean 600 kbit/s for a tcp-connection? And with what version of 
Watt-32? It's probably not the NDIS <-> packet-driver that makes it slow 
(allthough there's probably an extra memcpy in the shim).

But rather tuning of tcp parameters (receive window, MSS, and 
careful setting of various timers). I'm working on improving this though.
