While using mpe123 I typed mplayer file.wav >stdo 2>stder.
It told me 'illegal instruction'

It worked for Ron.  Ron, do you have i686?

We have a PPro under construction too, 200MHz with dual cpus.  Why is this 
better than a 233MHz PI?  The 300 and 600 are still in pieces until after 
my partner finishes his class.  He is hoping for the C++ he got in the C++ 
class last year.

The 350MHz which is still together has an AMD-K6 3D processor.  My 
ethernet is not working this week so I can't easily test it right now. 
Won't ping.  I made sure the cables were pushed in at both ends. What else 
might I try to diagnose the problem?  It has always been finicky.
