involved an el cheapo motherboard mit onboard sound / video & Cyrix 300 and
SMC USB network adaptor to Tel$tra Bigpond cable. It worked fine for five /
ten minutes then went on a go-slow strike. After replacing the thing with a
proper PCI network adaptor all problems disappeared.

Some sources have suggested that those cheap / earlier type motherboards
with under 500Mhz CPU so tend to act up with addon USB cards so its possible
the things may work with better hardware. Personally I'm inclined to avoid
USB anything as I have never had particularly good results from anything
using that arrangement.
