It's absolutely not high-end stuff, but this is only a residential 
1Mb/120Kb DSL line, shouldn't really be taxing the NIC. If there's 
anything else about the config you'd like to know, I'd be happy to 
provide details.

If you really think switching to a better ethernet card will help, I 
have a 3C905B sitting here that I can try.
