Seems like a unreliable motherboard. You'd rather try another system to see
if the problem is the same, with the Netcomm card.
If it does, try to get another motherboard (personally I'm very against
AOpen, I had some bad experiences with it, worse motherboard and a CD-ROM
making the same noise (including level) as a boeing 747).

Next we had a failing motherboard, where Win2k actually was more reliable
than WinXP. This made no difference, both didn't work correctly and a
motherboard replacement solved all issues...
