I used see this when I dialed up to one ISP, while another was fine.  You
should also see a problem if you try and upload large files.  The solution
is to turn off RFC1323 support in the kernel (there seems to be some odd
interaction between NetBSD hosts and some dialup servers).  I added the
following to my /etc/rc.local :

  sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.rfc1323 = 0
