I have successfully repeated the same several times. :(
The setting is that the 4-cpu machine runs 4 jobs. At the
same time, it serves as an NFS server for other three
2-cpu machines running totally 6 jobs of the same kind.
The jobs are heavy I/O and heavy CPU combined.

BTW1: I tried the tulip21x4x network card. So far it works fine under
my working condition.
BTW2: 3Com905 is tried also. Basically I find it dead faster than EEPRO100.
