I'm happy to say that we think this problem is solve, thanks to Paul Heinlein's efforts. (Brief details below.) Thank you Paul! Yell if you see a recurrence.

I can't remember if I outlined for you the source of the problem. Our local telco (Qwest) provides Ethernet over long-haul copper. The termination unit completely confused every switch I threw at it (Netgear, Cisco, Zytel), and the trouble ended up being a simple-in-hindsight speed/duplex mismatch. I didn't spend much time troubleshooting in that direction because the problem was unidirectional: traffic move into our office much, much more quickly than it went out. Duplex issues I've encountered in the past have affected traffic in both directions. Anyway, things look pretty stable at this point. Let me know if you see any troublesome patterns in the future, but for now I'm going to consider this problem solved. _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
