Hello David,
I'm cc'ng the list so everyone can benefit by this one:

The machine is an AMD 166MHz
CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x562 Stepping=2
Features=0x8001bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,MMX>
real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes)
avail memory = 128421888 (125412K bytes)

Does wcarchive have more then 1 Ethernet adapter?
The interfaces are operating in 100Mbps mode:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 209.48.66.148 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 209.48.66.191
ether 00:a0:c9:e3:da:b6
media: 100baseTX <full-duplex>
fxp1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

I'm using D-Link 5016 switches. The duplex is configured for full.
I have just written a script which pages me when the Ierrs gets up above
zero...I want to start trying to figure out a threshold and a time factor...
Thank you,
