Do some testing with ttcp, using udp and tcp.  I ended up going to
*2048* on one machine because I still saw the error when flooding
with udp.  Typically 512 should be fine, but if your machine has a
fair amount of network activity (sounds like it does) I would go with
1024 just to prevent it *ever* hosing up.
