Adequately, but not greatly. Both cards have lots of tuning options
which can be played with but i haven't got round to that (the Lucent
Managed Firewall people get very impressive results with a tuned
version of the Intel driver). Also, there are other bottlenecks in
the IP stack need to be addressed.

I think the Alteon-based cards are near the end of their life, now
that 3Com has bought the NIC chip part of Alteon information is drying
up and I've no idea about any future products.
