I've got notes on all the NIC cards we've used here. Back with our first
direct Internet connection (in 1995), all NIC cards seemed to work fine --
so well, in fact, that I assumed that NIC cards were just eternally
stable. That's why it took me so long to figure out that NIC cards were
causing the problems we were experiencing a year or two ago.
From my notes:
"Linksys: Will crash when POP3'ing mail with IMail, even with
latest (~8/01) drivers. May have FTP problem."
Linksys simply can't be used with a mailserver (they have a serious bug in
their drivers that causes a BSOD). As for the problem you are experiencing
with transferring files, it could be because of the Linksys as well (the
"FTP problem" referred to above is the one I described in the last post,
which sounds similar to what you are experiencing). Soho is another one to
stay away from (it definitely has the "FTP problem" I described).
You might want to try searching the archives -- whenever the NIC card issue
comes up, there are a lot of posts.
