Particularly ssh and smb.  I'll answer this part now.

I'm using defaults currently.  But shouldn't this be sufficient to
see considerably better transfer time than I posted?  I'm thinking
not to introduce more variables by changing this just yet, until I
establish whether other network probs are responsible

## NFS example:
## 192.168.0.17:/home    /path   nfs    rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
exp:/           /EXP_root        nfs      defaults      0 0
exp:/home       /EXP_home        nfs      defaults      0 0
exp:/var        /EXP_var         nfs      defaults      0 0
exp:/mnt/exp    /EXP_mnt_exp     nfs      defaults      0 0
exp:/usr        /EXP_usr         nfs      defaults      0 0
exp:/tmp        /EXP_tmp         nfs      defaults      0 0
