->So right now you have 172,504 network buffers - thats at least 17Mbytes

->configuration ?

That's bit little, my estimates are that I'm missing at least 40-60mb of
ram [hard to say w/out going into single user mode]

As to answer your question. It never ran 2.0.29 since it is pretty new box
so the latest it would run is the 2.0.30 .. it had the motherboard replace
once since the last one was flaky, but since then It runs perfectly [well
except the memory gone south], so I don't think that there are any
hardware problems right now.

Also, if anyone wants me to do any extra debugging now, I would prefer it
the sooner the better since I was thinking to reboot it soon since it
swaps pretty heaviliy, and is harly usable [and it has got 64mb ram].

For shake of completenes as I have mentioned in my first messages it would
use ppp, plip and eth drivers, the ethernet cards are 3c503 and 3c590.
