It isn't directly relevant, but I saw similar problems with a
Racal-Interlan NI6510 card (ISA DMA lnc-type card) under Linux some time
ago - in fact the slower the host the better the throughput :-|
(386-33=~250kB/s; 486-100=~50kB/s). Note that this was mostly a problem
with connections via a router - connections from the same segment weren't
as bad, but I could never get transfer rates as good as with a SMC EtherEZ
:-(. Driver problem most likely in this case. BTW, the machines involved
were Compaq Prolinea desktops.
If you can, I'd suggest ditching the internal NIC and using an fxp
supported NIC.

ISTR that Unixware has been found to work well in these Compaq BIOSen.
