I noticed the same difference between NT and RHL Linux 5.2 on the same
system. Try tweaking your MTU (for Red Hat, in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*).

I lowered mine, since I do mostly telnet sessions and Web browsing (lots
of small, short transfers), and I noticed a small but nice improvement.


I couldn't find the 'block Compaq' option on my system though. :)
