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
