Unfortuantly the only options for a Mac these days are Appletalk or Samba,
NFS doesn't seem to be available. I could FTP files, but that's more of a
pain that long Xfer times.

In this case the only traffic on the network was between the Mac and the
VMS box. Which is why I was so surprised that the performance was _that_
bad. If I'd have had a bunch of other systems on the network talking at
that time I'd have not been suprised, but the only other system up was my
firewall.
