Dar,

Sometimes I wonder why standards exists...

doing a simple googling on this topic I grooked that at least *BSD and 
Windows2000 got settings for TCP Windows for receiving and for sending 
data, I guess this must just be different buffer sizes ain't so?

Using the sysctl command line tool one can probe this stuff or one can 
risk his tcp/ip stack using commands like:

sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.recvspace= Desired value
sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.sendspace=Desired value

this examples are for NetBSD 2.0, and I really don't think one should 
fiddle with this. One would gain nothing I think, if the client and 
server got different buffer sizes no one will gain by increasing it's 
own size right? and the chances of this misbehaving is just too big....
