Two dual CPU machines with 512MB RAM and two channel bonded fast ethernet
interfaces.  Software is kernel 2.2.17, glibc2.0, lam 6.5.1-usysv.

[tap at venturi tap]$ mpirun -O n13,14 a.out -2 8000
id=0: MPI_Isend done.
id=0: MPI_Irecv done.
id=0: elapsed time: 12.901334 s
id=1: MPI_Isend done.
id=1: MPI_Irecv done.
id=1: elapsed time: 13.191415 s

Seems to work fine.  Sending half of a 8000x8000 matrix of doubles in 15.65
seconds is about 18.9 MB/sec throughput in each direction.  About what I get
for a netperf TCP throughput test.
