Got the problem solved: I found out that my USB ADSL modem was connected
to what turned out to be an old v1.1 USB port!  So today I went out and
bought a 5-port PCI USB v2.0 board, plugged it in, shoved my ADSL modem
into it, and voila -- gaming problem fixed!  :)  I have my rate set to
15000 and cl_maxfps is 50, and all is fine -- no more of that sawtooth
shape that I was getting in the netgraph, and my ping, while still not
fantastic, is at least 80-90 on a constant basis.  I no longer get the
phone jack icon either.  :)

So I think it was a combination of old v1.1 USB port (slower speed) plus
the fact that the v1.1 port is powered by the CPU, unlike the PCI card
with v2.0 USB ports, which are self-powering.  At any rate, I'm happy!
