Looked at the netstat -m and the vmstat -m... ran the backup
a couple times and watched the lockup. No consistent results.

I'm using the ed1 driver... I forget the exact manufacturer
of the card.

>From the boot probe:

ed1 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 on isa
ed1: address 00:40:01:41:bc:fb, type NE2000 (16 bit)

I'll be pulling a known quality card from somewhere today
and replacing this to see if the results vary...
