resetting /proc/net/dev && ifconfig shows lots of dropped and errors
man ifconfig implies that statistics below are got from
/proc/net/dev

...short of rebooting is there a way to reset /proc/net/dev ?
Do the errors and drops seem high?
dropped/recieved is .3%
errors/transmitted is 84% !??!!
We haven't noticed any application errors on this machine (dedicated to
mailman)
"carrier" means what?
Snooty pointers to the fine manual would be A-OK as well.
