Doug,

Jim Guyton at Rand described this same problem to me.  He
and I did some poking around and found that somewhere between here 
(Southern Calif.) and decwrl.dec.com, someone is clobbering packets larger 
than somewhere in the 1000-->1100 byte range.  We can ping all day with 
packets less than 1000 and get good reliablility but 1100 or more 
fails consistently.
