Hm, this reminds me that after a mini-installfest we had at CMU, one 
machine (out of 8 identical machines  - all Thinkpad T23s, same 
version, all running RH7.3) had major problems with its ethernet driver 
- - it gave the dreaded "kernel: eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout!" 
error and wouldn't move any packets whatsoever. Mine might be a subset 
of the same problem.

I also noticed (now...) that while the (virtual) ppp0 interface reports 
this amazing number of errors (more than actual packets received), the 
eth0 interface (through which ppp0 is "tunneled" for DSL), reports 0 
errors!

Anyway, I'll most likely try upgrading the driver and see how that goes.

Thanks for your suggestions.
