I see this "sawtooth" behaviour as well. Mac OS X obviously uses a big
cache for network sending (128 KB?) and the ftp client reports the
speed of the data going into the cache, not the speed of the data going
actually over the wire (phone cable). So, the "pauses" you see is when
the cache is filled but still in the process of being sent. With a 64
kbit line, those pauses are so long that the ftp CLI client assumes a
stalled connection.
Nevertheless, this is more an optical glitch. The overall speed (total
file size divided by total sending time) should be about the same as
with Mac OS 9. It's about 7.3 K/sec over a 64 kbit line here.
i am a totally kernel newbie,
On Mac OS X, there is next to never the need to tune the kernel. Surely
not to satify a 64 kbit network connection.
the gui sux, it mounts the share read only.
The GUI? Which GUI?
If you are talking about the Finder, it's a known limitation of the
Finder to handle FTP connections read-only. You'll have to resort to
some other FTP client until Apple has fixed this. There are plenty of
them: curl, wget, ftp, RBBrowser, Transmit, Fetch, Internet
Explorer[1], Camino[1], FireFox[1], ...

[1] Not sure wether these allow FTP upload but I'd test them if the
others don't satisfy you.
