No, not nasty.  A very good think to look at more than once.  But, I just 
don't see any problems with the Redhat 6.1 Linux machine on the same 
network.

Yes, that is what I have found in the past, the HOWTO are a great resource. 
What I would like to be convinced of is that it might actually solve the 
problem.  I don't have much of a feel for it, but I am pretty clear that 
futzing with the network cards will not change the problem.  The real pain 
of building the kernel will probably be getting the source onto a machine 
that refuses to do large network transfers.
