Subject:   output of ping command looks mysterious
Message-ID:  <199811301913.MAA18068@docws002.shl.com>

Our network environment:
Dell model Dimension XPS D333 pentium-II 333Mhz 4.5 GIG IBM ultra wide SCSI
HD, ADAPTEC 2940UW controller, BIOS Phenix 4.0 release 6.0, 3-COM 905 TX
network card, 8 MB Video Card AGP  2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0
this machines runs Apache Server 1.3, Qmail and Radius 2.3
Pipline 75 - original bios from 1996
Portmaster 2e - ComOS 3.7.2  
Output of the ping command looks like:

--- ns.uunet.ca ping statistics ---
44 packets transmitted, 42 packets received, 4% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 46.531/249.858/993.792/242.634 ms

For me it's looks suspicious. Any suggestions why there are jumps up to
993.792 ms ?
The other issue (maybe related) is memory avaialbe, here is output from
vmstat -m command:
# vmstat -m
