On a suggestion from bruce@Think.COM I changed MAXPACKETSIZE from 576
to 1006 and things got a lot better. No more checksum complaints and
I'm able to hang on to my neighbor once acquired.

In looking at a trace of the routing activity, there seems to be a lot
of bouncing around. Several networks I checked on get new metrics about
every 4 minutes. Usually the gateway remains the same but the metric
bounces between 4 and 5 or 5 and 6.

Although my immediate problem is solved, it looks like things are still
not completely healthy.
