[vortex] 3c509B card loses link

[Uncle George]

is there a group that can resolve network issues with a xircom pcmcia 
ce3b-100 credit card. Using this card on transfering "in" a lot of files 
( mostly >1meg ) the transfer process stops( halts activity light is off 
), and eventually the process gets a 'no route to host" message.

I got a netgear 32bit FA511 kard, and that runs flawlessly, up to the 
point where the transfer process runs out of disk space. It also 
 transfers over 1000kbytes/sec where the xircom kard ( 16bit ) does 
about 700-800kbytes/sec.

I suppose that the xfer speed maxes out at 16bit,  but it really should 
not case the connection to drop.

Changing the MTU to 1350 does appear to stop the "no route to host" 
problems, but transfer speed also drops to ~120kbytes/sec, which does 
not appear to be much better that a 10mb ethernet kard!

So where does one go about looking for the cause.

thanks
