Still not ready to give up on ADSL with linux box. ADSL works so well on my clunky p166 / 64megs. of RAM, windows machine. ADSL should be slammin' on the 800Mhz Athlon box with 256 megs. RAM. Linux box is using PCI 3COM 905C-TX ethernet card. Windows box is using PCI Kingston KNE-110TX ethernet card. Tonight's ping tests look worse than last night's. I don't know why.
