	What kind of machine you have ?  PWS433a ?  Something else ?
	One or more network cards ?

	Oh yes, statistics are screwy if you use default "ifconfig"
	to look at them, that I know.  I looked at the stats via:
		cat /proc/net/dev

	For some reason my system is uterly unable to SEND anything
	out.  That is observable by seeing those errors I mentioned.
	I can't get PING out, nor telnet for that matter.
	Incoming ARP requests are not successfully replied, although
	they are received.
