Many times looking at tcpdump in one terminal window and trying things in 
another has given me the big clue :-)  I would be looking at the DNS 
resolution behaviour (UDP port 53 traffic) especially hard first.

Explicit Congestion Notification.  It is a bit in the TCP header, I think.  
Some router devices cannot handle seeing it and have a mental attack.  FC2 
can issue it by default.

Heh, I just got wifi working here using a similar trick :-)  
system-config-network is really cool once you can get it started with such an 
ifcfg-* file.

I have no experience with ADSL unfortunately, but I would imagine you can do 
tcpdump -i Alice and just see traffic headed down there.
