A/UX 2.0 and Ethernet

Hi,
After I installed A/UX 2.0 on a IIcx and finally acquired an
Ethernet card for it, I found that being on the net in fact causes
A/UX 2.0 to "choke".
Before I put the machine on ethernet, everything runs fine
with localtalk. I use NCSA Telnet to ftp sources. After I installed
the Ethernet card, and reconfigured the kernel. The system sometimes
just hangs for 5 to 30 seconds, then comes back. Sometimes it gets so
bad that it appears to have crashed. I have known that if the network
is too busy sometimes a system may choke because of the traffic.
However, I can't be certain this is the case.
Does anybody have similar experience or an explaination for
this? All replies are welcome, thanks in advance.
