I replaced my old 2600 with a BT Business hub a few months ago.
The log seemed say that there were loads of corected packets.
The annoying thing is that I was (trying to) work at the time and I
saw the LED flashing incessantly. I checked the ther Linux box and did
a "netstat" and saw nothing awry, an I thought I'd done the same on
the Asterisk box.
Obviously I should have looked at teh log file, because it was very
obvious when I looked this morning!
