Sort of.

I broke down and put NetBSD on my laptop, over an old OpenBSD partition. And 
it works fine, so I am perfectly happy.

I did ssh into work and restart the router, but that didn't do anything. I am 
not sure what that machine's problem is, but its a very old machine, so I 
don't care. I do think it has something to do with your theory, Nigel. But, 
all I need is NetBSD working somewhere so I can get acquainted, and now that 
it is, I don't think I'll mess with the old box anymore. 

Thanks to all who helped me out. I have really been looking forward to all 
the good things I have read about NetBSD.
