Thanks for your response, I will try your suggestion soon. In the
meantime I have found another problem: remote login via ssh, do a
'tar tvf largefile.tar' and you are out:

Jan  9 11:54:41 tybalt kernel: too many small tcp packets from
XX.XX.XX.XX:5632, av. 215byte/packet, dropping connection

The destination machine is the same SUN database server I mentioned
above and I have not applied the sysctl changes you suggested.
