I had an old ethernet card once (an NE2000 clone) that would lock up the system on occasion when the network was on moderate to high load. I have a suspicion it didn't handle collisions well, but it may have been throwing weird interrupts or something. I ended up going out and buying a new NIC, but it may have just been a driver issue (though I seem to recall that it would crash OS/2 as well.. yes, this was many moons ago) -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Syntactic sugar causes / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ cancer of the semicolon. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
