[NTLK] Erratic ping over wireless

Hi,

I just joined the list and have a teeny tiny question already. I've set
up my emate 300 with a wireless card in order to connect it to the
internet via my linux box. This all works fine, but it's horribly slow
at times. Using PT100 to telnet in to the linux box and then ping the
emate, I get response times that vary between 10ms and 1s, averaging
around 400ms. Is this normal behaviour, or is there a way to get things
to run faster? I realise the emate is an old machine, but I had thought
it would be capable of a reasonable connection speed when given access
to a wireless lan and a 512k cable line. If I was wrong, fair enough, I
still love the machine anyway, but I just thought I'd ask.
