Can someone tell me a reasonable rate for errors on the AppleTalk?
Running Peek gives three types of errors: overruns, CRC errors,
and time outs.  Are collisions included in these errors?  Is an
error rate of 5% much more than normal?  Seems rather high to me.
What might cause such a high rate?

We have been having a lot of trouble with a flaky appletalk, and I
am trying to debug it.  Any advice would be appreciated.
