Maybe there's the rub.

We have usually tried to test a device to device link using a crossover
cable.   We haven't had to worry about small errors.  I considered a
link loss to be failure; and that's what I was seeing...a complete link
loss.   

Perhaps using a bridge or other type of LAN driving device would make
our Ethernet link seem more robust during the test.  What do you mean by
a "lxia" box?
