Jordan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

No, I'm connected via a SMC8432BT PCI ethernet board to a 10baseT
network.

However, I've been wondering if the messages are from the processor on
my ethernet board.  How would I go about tracking down the source of
the message?  Telling me to go read a particular book or article is a
good answer as far as I'm concerned (or looking at source code).

Thanks for the help.

Tod
