for some reason win9x is not tweaked by default for networks, this kind
of adjustments is not required(or needed) in linux.
default linux 2.2 settings for defaultrecieve window is 65535
you can tweak it all you like but i suggest keeping it as it is unless
you are having problems, i have setup many linux boxes on dsl
connections and they all absolutly SCREAM.
look at /proc/sys/net/core
each of the files in there stores a setting, you can change it by:
echo "some updated setting" >filename
changes will take effect right away(no reboot required!) you can also
look at the configuration in /proc/sys/net/ipv4
if you want more info on how to tune network subsystems on various OSs
