Thanks. It's gotta be something I should be able to resolve. As of 4:30
today, the FreeBSD box was still running fine and had a network connection.
When RedHat was on there, the most I had a working network connection was
maybe an hour, tops. 6.2 is still downloading (I hope) at work, so I may
install that Monday and see how it goes.

A "critic" is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge 
the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased -- he hates 
all creative people equally.
