Just playing around, I tested my linux/win98 box with a Linksys  PCI Lan Card 
II  (ne2000 compatible) by pinging it with the f (flood) option from a linux 
box with a tulip card.
With linux loaded, the loss rate was reported as 0%. With win98 loaded, the 
loss rate was 6%.
With a win95 box with a tulip based card (Kingston), the loss rate was 1%.
So, win98 with ne2000 cards  underperforms linux with the same card. win95 
with a tulip card does slightly worse than linux with the ne2000 card. 
I can't afford windowsNT, so I will have to stick to linux.
