   I'm not too surprised by this; the one case where I saw the lossage problem
with the Cisco didn't show any errors on either side, yet there was 20% packet
loss. I'm sure if I had been using NFS in that case that things would have
sucked badly.

   I use Intel Pro/100B and 100+ cards in all of my machines here on a fast
ether switch in full duplex with NFS. I've never had any problems. We also
do the same with freefall/hub/etc. While we've had problems with NFS there
when one of the machines goes down, I don't recall seeing any problems like
you're having with selective processes wedging.
