Is it possible that only Open Office could be affected in an unhealthy 
network setting?  Thanks for the suggestion.  mii-tool already revealed 
that the gig to gig connection was negotiated at 100Mbit.  We'll have to 
use iptraf now to observe utilization of the interface.

Our DOE has recently closed ssh, so we have to time our observations and 
assistance much more carefully.
