I was being a ditz.  They are on separate ethernets.  The problem is
that we are getting 'excessive collisions' on le1.  We've tried
changing the cables and switching the segments.  The problem stays
with le1.  This is NetBSD 1.3.2 (soon to go to 1.3.3).

dmesg, netstat -rn, and ifconfig -a are attached (they should have been
in the first post, along with the real problem--sorry).

Any ideas welcomed.  (We are using the "illegal" 191.173.42/24 address
block--we do have plans to change that at some point.)

Thanks,
