I doubt it.  Using either of the UHCI drivers will change the timings
seen by your DSL driver yet again ... and I seem to recall that the
UHCIs won't detect/report such bugs either.  Boxes with both UHCI
and OHCI, or with onboard vs addin adapters of either type, have
no real reason to act particularly different.  Unless the PCI is itself
flakey ... a motherboard as old as you mentioned might have bugs
that have gotten rare lately.

The timings are likely fine, except that they combine to expose a
refcounting bug.  What was the name of the device driver being
used for that DSL driver?  I don't think you mentioned it.
