Thanks for the reply. The kernel version is 2.0.34, it's the one installed from the cheapbytes disk. I haven't rebuilt the kernel yet. The thing that bothers me is that with the Debian 1.3.1 (2.0.33) installation there were almost never any errors reported but with this new one, there may be as many as 30-40 errors in a 1 meg download. What's a tolerable level on the number of errors? thanks, tony mollica tmollica@thegrid.net
