[Fwd: Re: [LARTC] ssh and cs LAG]

[Mike Slinn]

Hariett,

Switching to the 2.4 kernel is not an option as this is a production server.

The machine has a dual Intel PRO/1000 NIC.

The machine usies grub, not lilo, but that doesn't really matter.  Not 
sure if APIC is an issue or not.

Thanks for your help.

Mike
