Well , You are completely right on this one . I have Dave's 1.11
running at this time & the same conditions appear . I beleive
that it will appear at times of zero traffic for long periods
& will show the intermittant halts during medium to high traffic .
I now beleive that the Netgear hub is failing and have purchased
a switch to replace it with . But it is odd that no other port on
the hub is showing this behaviour . One more try by moving the
cable to the other set of ports .

I am still going to test these out as well w/ speedo_debug set to
3 thruout all tests . Will report back , as soon as I have time .
Again Thank You, JimL
