The network problems might be caused by lots of things, including differences in the distance between the mac and the bridge (which is not identical), and possibly the bad resistor pack problem that the DeskWriter people have run into. Monitors tend to wave and jitter when subject to the fields from other monitors and some other types of equipment. I don't know why they would flicker differently, however. -- Matthew T.
