I thought that Winmodems just wouldn't work at all, rather than just
running slowly.  I had one that didn't work at all.  I'm no expert tho.
I cahnged to an external SupraExpress and have had no problems.  Have
you tried sampling various sites with pings or similar from Gnu/Linux
and Windows to see if this shows significant differences.  Are you using
the same DNS in both cases?  Ping IP addresses as well as domain names
to see if that makes much difference.
