"debug=0" doesn't seem to be enough. I'll remove it completely.

OK, that makes ttcp happy, thanks! Next test is with my cool new backup system: 
Ecrix VXA tape drive on high end (Tekram) scsi board (that's what I REALLY want 
to have running well...) Works very cleanly except when pulling in data across 
the network (client machines have an application that pushes data to the linux 
server...)

Below are some of the /var/log/message errors I get with this setup (clearly, I 
am getting a LOT of these :-(...

I tried setting max_interrupt_work to a huge number (1000) and to 30. Neither 
helped.... Any other ideas?

thx,
pete
