     Good day all,
     
     I'm looking for a good way to check packet retransmissions on my new
     DE500 running fast ethernet. My Alpha 1000 is now running slower than
     before. I'm trying to find out if I have a higher rate of bad packets
     due to either the NIC or bad cabling. I'm running DU3.2d with
     DECnet/OSI phase V version 3.2 (pure OSI links, OSI over IP using
     rfc1006, and pure tcp/ip).
     
     I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the proper utilities.
     
     Thanks in advance
