I've had nightmarish problems over the years with bad ports on
switches. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out why I was
having so much trouble with my PDP-11 running RSTS/E and DECnet/E,
and it turned out to be the one switch. Another time I was getting
crazy slow speeds between a 2Ghz P4 running XP and a dual 2Ghz Mac.
