You should be able to get *at least* 1.2M(BYTE)/second between the two machines over ethernet, I would think.
1.2 MB/s is about the absolute theoretical max you can get over 10 Mbps ethernet and I seriously doubt you get this kind of transferspeeds on any classic Amiga. 250-350 KB/s is much more likely for normal transfers, transferspeeds higher than 0.5 MB/s are to be, dare I say, frowned upon in most cases. Even with large files.
250k/sec is too slow, imho - something ain't right. I can go that fast (almost, anyway) with a null modem cable over serial -- with a high speed serial card installed in both machines, that is. 
I find that higly unlikely to say the least... Which high speed serial card are you talking about?
