Hello Michael,

   It is no uncommon for leased lines to have errors, especially those
inflicted by the provider...  

>Should I be worried about the magnitude of any of these counts or
>about the disparity between the two directions?

   I do not think the magnitude is a great problem.  Did you ever
disconnect the serial cable from the cisco during this week?  If you
disconnect the cable, the interface may see additional aborts.  If the
cable has never left the cisco, and the link was always operational
during the week, the question to ask is: Is the rate of errors
greater than 1% of the total amount of data transfered?  If the numbers
you showed us conern the transmission of 200Kb over the link, you may
have a problem.  If the numbers relate to 800Mb transfered over the
link, you might not have any concerns.


Thanks,
