Anyone out there know what the normal throughput
of a EuroFileTransfer session is? Can it use 2 B channels?
Is it faster than FTP?

Good question. Maybe it's the overhead of PPP+TCP,
or maybe nobody's ever really tried to do it right.
I'd love to see a shootout between EuroFileTransfer
(designed for quick ISDN file transfers) and FTP sometime.
