subject: Transfer stops occasionally

I'm having problems with my two-card network (both are SMC 8003EP:s). While 
testing file transfers, it goes well for a while but then it suddenly stops, 
the cps rate drops dramatically but then, after a while it continues and 
stops again, continues, stops etc. I've tried transferring through Magelink 
and send/recnet.
I believe this is the cause why I can't play a game through IPX... for 
example, Doom finds a node and starts transmitting network start data, but 
then hangs. Other games are unable to find the other machine OR just hang. 
Sync problem due to the described situation?
A little techno-data:
The cards are 8-bit, 8kb RAM buffer size. The software should be okay (lsl, 
smc8000 and ipxodi), the net.cfg is similar in both machines too (except for 
the interrupt, which is... different :)).
Any ideas are welcome.
