Greetings. Welcome to NetBSD!

For my money, I'd say that the problem -probably- lies with your network 
adaptor.

Check, however, that you aren't running Squid or some other proxy which 
is causing lots of disk accesses on the Quadra... which are likely to 
slow it down.

I don't know how Processor intensive pppoe is, but I've easily maxed out 
my LAN with even a IIcx, when using FTP.

Take care,
