People were telling me after all my tests that it "must be my hardware." Then I deleted Linux from my system and installed FreeBSD 2.05 from Walnut Creek's CD-ROM. I haven't had even a single problem since! It has been running uninterrupted since installation, and now I have been using it round-the-clock to handle all the news and e-mail for my FirstClass BBS. I even have it do the correct JIS/SHIFT-JIS filtering needed for Japanese Internet messages. FreeBSD is very stable.
