I'm having some trouble with a wrapped ring that goes down for
exactly 10 seconds occassionaly.  Actually, one station out of
3 sees the ring go down for 10 seconds.  We're using the AMD
supernet chip set and synernetics SMT.  Is there any test that
the SMT may be running that is causing the ring to go down? (e.g.
trace function, path test, etc.)  I've looked through the specs
but can't find anything that has this long of a time frame.
I suspect that it may have something to do with the LEM since
we're getting alot of lost frame hits due to a bug within the
chipset.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
