[K12OSN] one slow terminal - one fast one.

Could the nic on one of the machines be bad?  Do both Dells have
onboard nics, or could you swap them?  If both machines are PXE
booting from onboard nics, you could try putting a new nic (if you
have one) in the slow machine and floppy-booting to see what happens.

I'll look at one of my Dells here, but I'm wondering if there are bios
settings that could be affecting the nic as well...
