We typically get a transfer rate of around 90-ish kb/sec on our Windows
machines, which meets our needs (I back up to an ADSM/MVS server). But if
I could get it to go at 500 kb/sec, I wouldn't object :) So from
my point of view, your numbers are very reasonable!
Looking at it from a more philosophical standpoint, I'd say that "reasonable"
is subjective. That is, what may be reasonable for me may be unacceptable for
someone else. So another way to answer your question is: if it meets your
needs, then it is reasonable.

Ditto. We get about 100-300kb\sec from Windows->MVS server
over token ring; 50-150kb over Ethernet, depending upon
whatelse is going on.
