Hello,

I recently "upgraded" the network card in my PC from an Accton MPX
NE2000-compatible ISA card to a 3Com 3C905 PCI card, and I've run into a
little bug that I can't figure out.

Now, every once in a while, my NS/VT connection to the 3K gets *really*
slow.  The only things affected are:  block mode transfers, downloads with
the terminal emulator (Minisoft), and Qedit for Windows.  Otherwise, if I'm
just doing command-prompt stuff, everything seems a-ok.

The problem is especially bothersome because it's intermittent.  Everything
seems to work fine and then - boom! - block mode screen redraws get
*s*l*o*w* and downloads don't work at all.  I can't tie the problem down to
any other apps I'm running -- sometimes the termulator is the only thing
going.  To clear the problem, I reboot and try again.

Is it perhaps becuase I'm now loading both 802.2 and 802.3 frame types?
That's the only thing I've changed, besides the card.  And, in case it
matters, we're still on Win 3.11.
