- NOT a network error. It means that the incoming packet OVERRAN PEEK
- (i.e. the Mac wasn't ready to accept the packet and the SCC (Serial
- comms chip) was overrun by data). Run Peek under Monofinder, without
- any INITs (or a debugger) and it will probably work better. The best
- way to run Peek is booted off a minimal 6.0.x MonoFinder floppy on a
- Mac old enough to run System 6.
