If I tried that rsize and wsize, it would seize up.  I have to pin my wsizes 
and to a lesser extent rsizes to 1500 or the who thing freezes up, for udp at
least. The problem is with my 3com lanplex 2500 probably a configuration issue,
but frankly I just don't understand it well enough to sort out.  Maybe using
tcp would fix it for larger sizes though.  I shall have to try that tomorrow 
(don't expect to spend more than a few minutes on my home machines tonight).
