I just purchased a PII 350 (Intel SE440BX motherboard), 128MB RAM, 
4 gig barracudda, 2940UW, Intel pro100B, mach32 vga system.i
I installed 227R on it.  I'm having a problem with it's ethernet
connectivity.  Anytime I telnet to/from the machine, or ftp, or
XDM, I have intermittent lag.  Every few seconds my X will freeze for
a couple seconds. My FTP transfers are between 6KB-100KB/sec to 
another 100 megFD host (my 227R is 100megFD).  To another 10 meg
HD i've seen 600KB/sec (a linux box)..  If I telnet to another
machine and cat a large file, it spews out quickly, pauses a second or
two, continues, and repeats.  It's horrible.  I've tried connecting
the machine to a different 100 meg switch, no help.  I've tried a
different cable.  I even tried a DEC DE450 (10 megHD) card.  Same
problem.  Heck, i tried a 226R kernel.  I've rearranged all the
expansion cards.  Oddly enough, ping -f shows no loss, and tcpblast
works well (10MB/s) too.  I have no idea what's going on.  I'm pulling my
hair out.  Help! :)
