I formulatd myself a little incorrectly in my post. I don't think it's the NIC itself, actually I know this, I thought maybe there was a bug or something in RH9. This has happen on 3 different machines running the same system, so I "hoped" there was a bugfix or something for this. I've done a little searching but I can't seem to find anything so I hoped some of you guys had run into this problem earlier. My client is now set to wrap it's lines at 72 characters.
