Jim,

It makes perfect sense. The broadcast address wasn't set explicitly:
Debian set that for reasons beyond my understanding at the moment when
nothing was set. The broadcast is now set to 10.2.2.255, and the problem
remains. It should be noted that in addition to new terminals not
getting NFS, old terminals are unable to open new applications and
things slowly degrade to unusable. So this question relates to another
one recently asked on this list

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:90:27:1B:2F:14
          inet addr:10.2.2.254  Bcast:10.2.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Thanks,
