I have used telnet (with ne-1000 cards) on xt computers quite a bit, and
ftp occasionally.  I never had any problems.
You probably have a parity error.  You might also check the memory
configuration.  If it is set wrong, you might be accessing memory
that doesn't exist.

I would reccomend using QA-PLUS, a commercial diagnostics program.
You can use it to check for IRQ/DMA conflicts, and it does a very
good memory check.  
If you have to do multiple passes, it can be a bit slow (overnight), but
it will find problems.
