P'rhaps, thoug I have more thqan one SS5/170 running happily without
major dramas.  I've actaully found a repeatable failure mode with the
HME card, though.

        ping -f <some_local_host>

generates and opps the first time and locks hard if repeated so I
think there's some interaction between the 100Mb interrupt spped and
the CPU/MMU.

I'm guessing that should be 'while' not 'white' :)
