Dave:
Yah, an old machine. Although I am prepared to go out and buy a new cheap
crash-and-burn system, I'd like to postpone that for as long as possible.
Some clarifications:
The machine has two ethernet controllers. The first one (the 3com 3c905)
is used as eth0, and was configured to be my external link. As I mentioned
earlier, that card worked in FC1 after turning kudzu off.
The second (realtek) is currently unused; the machine is a crash-and-burn
version of a future gateway, hence the two NICs.
Also, I run command line only (no graphics).
Enclosed is the lscpi -vvx output as an attachment
