Keep in mind that when Cisco puts 'load' on an interface, it's only refering to transmit, not total. It seems like the versions of IOS ending in 'T' list both 'tx load' and 'rx load' for convenience. Also, since this is ethernet, does packets and bytes received on the interface refer to all traffic on the wire, or just that destined to this router. I'm thinking that it's only traffic destined to the router, so there might be much more traffic on the wire than the rx counters are telling you. Get a sniffer and look at utilization with that. Or if your hubs have a little utilization meter (most 3Com's do), what does it show? If you're hitting 50% frequently, it's time for a switch or 100 mb.
