What are "carrier" errors (from ifconfig)? I tried connecting to a switch
and also using a cross-over cable to another nic, and got the errors with
both setups. The NICs are DEC 21143s, everything setup and reporting as
100MB full duplex, but i still have the odd collision (see below) and slow
ftps. I seem to get a higher proportion of errors when i load the ethernet,
and throughput dies as well. tulip driver, mandrake 7, other machine on the
net is NT4.

tnx
