  I tried turning off TCP/IP Window Scaling on Linux.   PRESTO - it worked!
Now that I have gotten this deep into it, I'd like to understand why.  I'll
have to see what control DNews has over these parameters to see if there is
any App interaction or if it is all confined to Win 2000.

   Eventually, I may still need a Net Monitor dump from that end to
eliminate some more things.

   There was great controversy in the Linux team whether to take the
Windows approach and work with maximum compatibility or move forward and
provide full speed capability for those running a multi-megabyte line
between continents.   They chose to move forward, regardless if routers
supported it correctly or not.  That leads to situations like this.   They
should have made it an option for those few brave pioneers with the
multi-megabyte inter-continental connections, and make it just work in
maximum compatibility for the rest of us.    I noticed that the window size
even self-tuned nicely with Window Scaling disabled.
