After about a week of swapping SIMMS, changing timing values and reinstalling freebsd about a half dozen times (that spike in Internet usage 2 weeks ago? -- that was me ;-) ), I finally traded up to an Amptron 7600 and all is smooth as silk now. Didn't change anything else besides recompiling the kernel with i586 instead of i486. Maybe somebody else will benefit from my misfortune... Jon
