And with the following you should be able to double the FTP rates,
assuming you are running switched gigabit between the two boxes.

ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_xmit_hiwat 131072
ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_recv_hiwat 131072

The T5120 or T5220 should be able to do much better (on par with FTP)
once ssh is enhanced to use the onboard crypto accelerators.
